Nitócris
Sign in to saveAlso known as Nitocris of Egypt
Nitocris () possibly was the last queen of the Sixth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Her name is found in writings long considered as relatively accurate resources: a major chronological documentation of the reigns of the kings of ancient Egypt that was composed in the third-century BC by Manetho, an Ancient Egyptian priest; and by the ancient Greek historian, Herodotus, in his Histories (430 BC). She is thought to be the daughter of Pepi II and Neith and to be the sister of Merenre Nemtyemsaf II.

Nitócris seria, segundo Heródoto, a única mulher a reinar no Egito. Sua existência, no entanto, é questionada, pois referências a ela seriam, na verdade, sobre o faraó Netjerkare com nome corrompido. Heródoto, em suas investigações no Antigo Egito, recebeu dos sacerdotes uma lista de 330 faraós, dos quais 18 eram etíopes, e apenas uma era mulher, uma egípcia nativa. Esta rainha teria o mesmo nome da rainha da Babilônia, que fez grandes obras na Babilônia, e foi mãe do seu último rei. Nitócris teria tornado-se rainha após o assassinato, pelos egípcios, do faraó, seu irmão. Ela teria se vingado dos assassinos, construindo uma câmara subterrânea, chamando-os para um banquete, e fazendo-os morrerem afogados, por uma entrada de água. Para escapar da punição, ela teria se suicidado jogando-se no fogo. Segundo Manetão, citado por Eusébio de Cesareia, ela seria da VI dinastia egípcia, a mais nobre e bela mulher de sua época, e teria construído a terceira pirâmide. Sua dinastia, da qual apenas ela é mencionada, teria reinado por duzentos e três anos.
