In c. 2700 BC, the First Doctor, Steven Taylor and Sara Kingdom visited a pyramid in which an unnamed pharaoh's treasures were being placed. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan)

Erimem was the child of Pharaoh Amenhotep II, and should have herself become pharaoh in circa 1400 BC. However, she was passed over, largely because of her gender, and the throne instead went to Thutmose IV. The Fifth Doctor could name every pharaoh that Egypt ever had. (AUDIO: The Eye of the Scorpion)
