Sneferu - Old Kingdom
Both mine and the ancient Egyptians favourite...Sneferu!
Firstly, what a great name I've always thought he sounds like a cartoon cat!
What's he famous for? Pyramids!
After Djoser's first step pyramid, built by the great Imhotep. Sneferu had three cracks at it...the Meidum pyramid, the Bent Pyramid then the first true pyramid, the Red Pyramid. He's the daddy of the Great Pyramid builder Khufu!
He was remembered by later generations as a wise and kind ruler, often the central character in folk tales.

Hatshepsut - New Kingdom
What she famous for? A successful female ruler (sort of)
Passed over for the job of pharaoh (Her dad was pharaoh, then her husband/brother then her step-son), she took the job as regent when her young step-son, Thutmose III became pharaoh. They co-ruled for 22 years.
She was a great builder, her mortuary temple at Deir El Bahri and obelisks at Karnak are a marvel to behold!
Her success came through the trade expeditions to the famous land of Punt.
Sadly, for various reasons her successors tried to wipe her name from Egyptian history.

Ramesses II (the Great) - New Kingdom
Another pharaoh reverred by the ancient Egyptians. He was a prolific builder, the Ramesseum, the city of Per-Ramessu to name just two.

He was a great military leader, or so he would have us believe!
He was a great propagandist and despite the battle of Kadesh ending in one of the first treaties, Ramesses returned a hero.
