About this title: Queen - or, as she would prefer to be remembered King - Hatchepsut was an astonishing woman. Brilliantly defying tradition she became the female embodiment of a male role, dressing in men's clothes and even wearing a false beard. Forgotten until Egptologists deciphered hieroglyphics in the 1820's, she has since been subject to intense speculation about her actions and motivations. Combining archaeological and historical evidence from a wide range of sources, Joyce Tyldesley's dazzling piece of detection strips away the myths and misconceptions and finally restores the female pharaoh to her ...

Description: New. The forgotten pharaoh--brilliant, defiant, statesmanlike, and a woman Egypt's Queen--or, as she would prefer to be remembered, King--Hatchepsut ruled over an age of peace, prosperity, and remarkable architectural achievement (c. 1490 B.C.). read more
"A fascinating story of a female pharoah who ruled for twenty years during Egypt's 18th Dynasty and even wore a beard on ceremonial occasions to look masculine. So it was not just Hillary Clinton who had to act like a man to run for President - this expectation goes way back in history. Ironically, Hachepsut's relics were all defaced or destroyed when her reign ended. Particularly fascinating for me was the fact that a three different clairvoyants have told me on three separate occasions that I was a citizen of Egypt at the time of Hachepsut"
"Packed with details and citations yet remaining very readable and thoroughly enjoyable this can be considered one of the definative works of Hatchepsut. Tyldesley is a brilliant Egyptologist with a passion for her work which comes through in this book with how it is written and the obviously huge amounts of time that have gone into the research and final text. A must read and a brilliant example of how woman really can get to the top."
"Wonderful! In-depth, packed with amazing details with plenty of citations, and written with a great narrative voice so it's always entertaining to read. I took two notebooks' worth of notes on the life of Hatshepsut from this book alone. Tyldesley is the master of books on Egyptology. This is one of her best!"
