Reu was born in the year 1787, thirty years after Peleg, and lived 239 years [(Dorot 6)]. In his days began the kingdom of Giza and the head of their kingdom was Pharaoh [(Tzadi Chet 2)]. In his days began the kingdom of the women called Amazons, for their husbands were killed in war and the women took the spears and fought their enemies and succeeded, and they would burn the right breast of their girls when young so they could wear armor.

Their kingdom lasted until Alexander of Macedon. [Amna with wonder and Rabbah chapter Amor says that we did not fight with them because it would have been a disgrace]. In this generation began the kingdom of Egypt which lasted until the days of Octavian Caesar [(Shir HaKallah Tzadi'')].
