Kings, Warriors and Priestess Queens

The Second Intermediate Period is coming to its end. On land and river the Thebans attack the Hyksos, pushing them northward towards their capital. King Ahmose I and his mother Queen Ah-hotep are pummeling their foes, while raising up their friends. We met two of these: Ahmose Ibana, a commoner, and Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, wife of the King and priestess of Amun.
