In a sense yes...I particularly liked Sobekneferu, the last monarch of the Twelfth Dynasty. But I went one step farther than her. |
But besides being pretty....Beautiful! .... Ok...BEAUTIFUL you were also noted not only for being strong and assertive but also fair and just! And you really accomplished quite a lot during the 22 years of your reign. In fact, peace prevailed and the commercial activities raised the splendour of Egypt to its maximum! |
Hatshepsut, you were known as one of the most prolific builders in ancient Egypt, commissioning |
They were superficially Egyptianized and did not interfere with our Egyptian culture. Their chief deity was Seth, whom they identified with an Asiatic storm god. They did introduce the horse and chariot, the compound bow, improved battle-axes, and advanced fortification techniques. Hyksos pharaohs tried to halt the spread of a Theban revolt, but their dynasty fell to Ahmose in 1521 BC. |
Well....Commander Ralph the Lionheart.... Commander Ralph?..Is he cute? Depends on your point of view.... he's on a mission impossible to find it now as we speak! Though he can find a needle in a haystack with ease! |
I had twin obelisks, at the time the tallest in the world, erected at the entrance to the temple. In fact,one still stands, as the tallest surviving ancient obelisk on Earth! Alas, the other has since broken in two and toppled. |
You were a busy person....and you created so much beauty.... |
Hatshepsut died, either as she was approaching or just entering middle age, in her twenty second regnal year; no record of her cause of death has survived. |
However, if the recent identification of her mummy in KV60 is correct, CT scans of the mummy indicate that she died of bone cancer in her 50s. |
I also need to get word to Commander Ralph... he has no idea what lies in store for him! |
If you see him first, warn him...OK? |
Until our next adventure and who knows where.... Commander Baby Girl signing off! |
Where I am? way back in time in ancient Egypt.. |
I had myself crowned pharaoh around 1473 BC, and took the throne name Maatkare, meaning "Truth in the soul of the sun." After I ascended the throne, I changed my name from the feminine Hatshepsut to the male Hatshepsu. |
