Why is it Difficult for Egyptians to accept a female ruler?

Because this is probably because of men being the first pharaoh, this might be the reason to why women were not preferred, and due to women giving less chance to show their abilities as a pharaoh (due to people just making men pharaohs), men were preferred every time, every now and then a girl may be born from the pharaohs wife, so the pharaoh would go with their other brothers or siblings, then soon get a boy, and then the boy would be taught and would soon be the next ruler, hatshepsut and the other queens were only took as pharaohs for having special situations, like for hatshepsut, after marrying her brother thutmose II she had a child by the name of thutmose III after thutmose II died, thutmose III was supposed to rule, but he was of course... too young, so hatshepsut put the matter to her own hands, and there you go! she became Pharaoh.


Where kings and queens were buried in ancient Egypt?

"Interred" would be a better word than "buried", and the answer depends upon the dynasty. But almost all pharaohs had their brains and intestines removed and placed in canisters, which were then sealed in the burial chamber along with their mummified (embalmed) corpses. Objects and tools the pharaohs had found useful in life were often sealed in these burial chambers, and sometimes, favored wives, servants, and pets were buried with the pharaoh, too.

What kind of people ate salad in ancient Egypt?

Salad was not "invented" until long after the demise of Ancient Egypt. Ancient Greeks were among the first to serve mixed vegetables together. If anyone in Ptolemaic Egypt was to have eaten salad, it would have been the Pharaohs and nobility; having a variety of vegetables (as opposed to just beans and grains) would be too expensive for commoners.
