Egypt
Women were not allowed to assume the position of
pharaoh.
In order to make the change from one pharaoh to another smooth,
the heir would
often be invited to rule with the reigning pharaoh.
This monarchy system lasted until the
Greeks invaded Egypt during the last 1000 years BC.
In this photograph the Khufu Pyramid can
be seen with the Queens' Pyramids in the foreground.
