After Cleopatra, Hatshepsut is probably the most famous female ruler of Ancient Egypt and her legacy seems phenomenal. Initially acting as regent for her young son Thutmose III, she soon assumed the role of Pharaoh in her own right. To consolidate her leadership, she often projected a masculine image. Her reign was characterized by peace, prosperity and numerous high-profile building projects such as the Karnak Temple complex and the visually distinct Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. The media in this group focusses on a fascinating chapter of Egyptian history, and features not only visual representations of Queen Hatshepsut herself, but also other figures associated with her, such as her son and other important courtiers. Additionally, you will art and personal items from the ancient royal household. A 360-degree panoramic photograph allows you to experience the Temple of Hatshepsut as if you were present yourself, whereas a digital reconstruction uses the famous female pharaoh's mummy to show what she might have looked like. There are also posts about upcoming lectures and other Egyptology news items. The group is closely associated to a blog dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, which can be found here.
