When and how did Sobekneferu become the first female Pharaoh of ancient Egypt?
The accepted period of her reign is between 1806 and 1802 BC (less than 4 years).
Other sources suggest:
She became queen in 1741 BC (altered by Ramses papyrus canon in 1290 BC to 1789 BC, shifting the whole dynasty 48 years) and she ruled for 4 years until she freed Joseph. Celebrating the Pharaoh's birthday in 1738 BC when she dreamed of 7 fat cows and 7 starved cows honors 30 years of either age or rule. Joseph was age 30 (1767-1737 BC) when she freed him after 2 years in prison (since 1739 BC) to become ruler.

Why is it important to understand history?
If I'm reading your question correctly, I believe this should answer it: Showing how you know the things that you know about history is important because it shows that your source of knowledge is a source that one might trust. For example, if someone asks you how you know about a historic event and you say, "I read it in a YouTube comment," he or she might not be very inclined to believe that it is true. If you quote a reputable academic source, the likelihood of having your facts straight is much higher (although academia also makes mistakes sometimes).

How many pyramids have been built?
Huge blocks of rock were cut from places many miles away and taken by boat to Giza and other places where pyramids were being built. The slaves used a series of logs rolling on the ground to move the giant stones. Then, they put them in place as parts of a pyramid.
The first pyramids were called "Step Pyramids" because they looked like giant steps. The pyramids we most recognize today, the smooth ones, were built later.
The Pyramids were built over a period of many years. The first great pyramid was ordered built by King Khufu (or Cheops), about 2600 B.C. This is the Great Pyramid, near Giza. It is 481 feet tall and 755 feet wide at each base. Historians believe that about 100,000 workers slaved away for more than 20 years to build this one pyramid.
Other pyramids followed, ordered built by other pharaohs. Historians still don't know how many pyramids were built in all because they are always finding remains of others beneath the constantly blowing sands of the Sahara Desert.

Answer
All of Egypt's pyramids are sited on the west bank of the Nile and most are grouped together in a number of pyramid fields.
The German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-84) produced the first modern list of pyramids in 1842. He identified 67. A great many more have since been discovered, in November 2008 118 pyramids had been identified. The location of Pyramid 29 for example, the so-called "Headless Pyramid", was lost for a second time when the structure was buried by desert sands subsequent to Lepsius' survey. It was only rediscovered again during an archaeological dig conducted in 2008.
Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation or buried by desert sands. If visible at all they may appear as little more than mounds of rubble. As archaeological techniques improve Egyptologists are continuing to identify and study previously unknown pyramid structures.
The most recent pyramid to be discovered is that of Queen Sesheshet, mother of 6th Dynasty Pharaoh Teti, located at Saqqara. The discovery was announced by the Egyptian Council of Antiquities, on 11 November 2008.
There are of course hundreds of other pyramids around the world, outside of Egypt. Sudan alone has 220 existing pyramids, and there are hundreds more in the Middle East and Central and South America. In fact, the world's largest pyramid is actually in Mexico. Then of course, there is no time limit so it is not limited to Ancient times.
Why are temples important for us?
The best answer to this can be in the historical significance of any building, Buddhist or not. The Buddha was an historical figure who shaped the teachings of many spiritual teachers around the world in the 2500 years since he lived. Marking the spread of Buddhism allows us to understand the way that human beings have interacted, and the ways in which our history has been shaped by the teachings of this one individual (for good or ill, such histories help us to understand in greater depth the things that we have found important over time).
It also permits us to remind ourselves of the labors of love and kindness that people have offered. For this same reason, notable shrines, mosques, chapels, cathedrals, and other structures should be maintained, as they give us important bookmarks to chapters in history, all of which have resulted in things being as they are now.

Who is the Egyptian sun god who wears a crown?
Ra (sometimes spelled Re), the sun god. Although, because Ra aged with the sun each day, and was reborn each night, he had three different identities based on what time of day it was.
There was Khepera (or Khepri), God of the rising sun who was depicted with a beetle's head; Ra (or Re), God of the sun, depicted with a hawk's head; and Atum (Also Atemu, Atem, Temu, Tmu, or Tum), God of the setting sun (and Ra's form at night), depicted with the head of a serpent.
His crown is called the "sun disk."

Not only is he known as one of Egypt's greatest warriors, but also as a peace-maker and for the monuments he left behind all over Egypt. He was the first king in history to sign a peace treaty with his enemies, the Hittites, ending long years of wars and hostility. The treaty can still be considered a conclusive model, even when applying today's standards.
