MEET HATSHEPSUT, PHAROAH OF EGYPT Here is an engaging and informative picture-book biography, lushly illustrated by award-winning artist Joseph Daniel Fiedler, of Egypt's only successful female pharaoh. Hatshepsut gained Egypt's throne when all her male siblings -- including the half brother whom she married -- died. Originally named regent to her nephew, Tuthmosis III, Hatshepsut gradually assumed more and more power, and eventually had herself crowned pharaoh. Since no word existed for a female ruler, Hatshepsut used the male title. She also wore men's clothing and a beard, and referred to herself as "he" as well as "she." Hatshepsut's reign was a peaceful and prosperous one. She sent an expedition to explore Punt, an exotic land of riches, and built beautiful monuments, including a magnificent temple on which she had artists carve and paint scenes from her life and reign. Following her death, Tuthmosis III tried to erase evidence of Hatshepsut's reign to make it seem as though he had succeeded his father directly. Catherine M. Andronik explains how, despite this vandalism, archaeologists have been able to piece together the story of this unconventional pharaoh's remarkable and mysterious life.

"Hatshepsut, His Majesty, Herself" is a very good book for children or people who just want a straight forward history of the first succesful female pharoah in ancient Egypt. This was the first book I read of Hatshepsut and I enjoyed it alot. It encouraged me to begin to learn more about her. She was truly a great ruler and worth investigating further. The book consists of a basic history of Hatshepsut and her accomplishments. If you liked this book check out a longer young adult novel "His Majesty, Queen Hatshepsut" by 'Dorothy Sharp Carter'.
This book is a short picture book of Hatsheput's Egyptian reign. She was Egypt's only successful female king. She wore men's clothing and a beard, and referred to herself as "he" as well as "she." Her rein was a peaceful and prosperous one. She explored lands and built beautiful, magnificent monuments and obelisks. Her masterpiece was the temple at the site known today as Deir-el-Bahri and archaeologists continue to study the amazing tale told on its walls.The book is nicely illustrated by artist renderings that capture the atmosphere of the time. A good book for children and adults.
Hatshepsut was of Nubian descent, this image is misleading lol, along with other images of the people of Ta Merry/Kemet
ONLY PAINTINGS, NOT THE REAL THING..., POOR CONTENT, MAYBE FOR A CHILD..., NEVER FOR AN ADULT..., I BOUGHT OTHERS THAT WERE JUST GREAT...
