This book traces her journey from royal daughter to Great Royal Wife, from God's Wife of Amun to sovereign of the Two Lands. It explores how she built her authority through religion, art, and monumental architecture, transforming herself into a living embodiment of Ma'at-the cosmic order. With detailed examinations of her upbringing in Thebes, her strategic marriage, her role in the priesthood of Amun, and her revolutionary claim to divine birth, the narrative uncovers how Hatshepsut used every tool at her disposal to redefine kingship and secure her place in eternity.
Blending history, archaeology, and cultural analysis, this volume offers readers a vivid portrait of one of antiquity's most remarkable figures. Hatshepsut's reign was not an anomaly-it was a turning point in the story of Egypt's New Kingdom, a reign of stability, prosperity, and vision that left an indelible mark on history. For readers fascinated by ancient Egypt, women in power, or the intersection of politics and religion, this book provides an essential, captivating account of a woman who dared to rule as king.
