Queen Shanakdakhete was the Ethiopian queen in 332 BC, and as best known for her infamous stand against Alexander the great during her reign. As he marched from rather easily conquering Egypt, he came to the border of Ethiopia only to meet Queen Shanakdakhete in personal command of her armies sitting in between two huge elephants. Not wanting to risk having his record marred by a woman, at that, Alexander the Great turned around and ended his legendary conquest.
