merneith (also written meritneith and meryt-neith) was a consort and a regent of ancient egypt during the first dynasty. she may have been a ruler of egypt in her own right, based on several official records. if this was the case, she may have been the first female pharaoh and the earliest queen regnant in recorded history. her rule occurred around 2950 bc for an undetermined period. merneith’s name means "beloved by neith" and her stele contains symbols of that ancient egyptian deity. she may have been djer's daughter and was probably djet's senior royal wife. the former meant that she would have been the great-granddaughter of unified egypt's first pharaoh, narmer. she was also the mother of den, her successor.

ancient egypt was an ancient civilization of eastern north africa, concentrated along the northern reaches of the nile river in egypt. the civilization coalesced around 3150 bc with the political unification of upper and lower egypt under the first pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia. its history occurred in a series of stable "kingdoms", separated by periods of relative instability known as "intermediate periods". ancient egypt reached its pinnacle during the new kingdom, after which it entered a period of slow decline. egypt was conquered by a succession of foreign powers in the late period, and the rule of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 bc when the early roman empire conquered egypt and made it a province. although the egyptian military forces in the old and middle kingdoms were well maintained, the new form that emerged in the new kingdom showed the state becoming more organized to serve its needs.
