Unveiling Queen Hatshepsut's Secrets
The article explores the secret of Queen Hatshepsut's personality and the symbolic actions she took to represent her pharaonic authority. She wore a false beard and appeared with masculine features in statues and inscriptions to reflect her legitimacy as a Pharaoh, despite being a woman who ruled Egypt. Archaeologist Mahmoud Farah explained that these symbols were part of a religious and political system linked to the god Horus. Hatshepsut was able to reshape her political discourse to appear as a fully empowered Pharaoh, without completely hiding her female identity.
