I!!!!! Love!!!!! Hatshepsut!!!!!
This was fucking fascinating. The only female leader of antiquity who ruled peacefully for a long period of time.
Hatshepsut used and transformed longheld religious symbols, adopted and adapted the masculinised pharaonic ideal, and built a reputation so fucking impactful that they couldn't chisel her reign from the walls even though they tried. Hatshepsut......I love you
