She may not have been as beautiful as Cleopatra and Nefertiti; yet she was one the most powerful pharaohs in ancient Egypt. She was a woman in a man’s likeness- 
sporting a false beard. Queen Hatshepsut ruled Egypt from 1473-1458 BC, and was an able administrator and builder Pharaoh. After her death, her tomb was opened and her mummy moved into the tomb of her wet-nurse, In-Sitre, by her successor Thutmose III, due to his desire for personal aggrandizement, so that he could claim all the achievements of their joint reign for himself.
The recent archaeological findings related to the discovery of Hatshepsut’s mummy in Egypt have opened a new chapter in archaeological studies. In an exclusive chat, Professor Salima Ikram of the Dept. of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Egyptology, American University in Cairo, told B&E, “The potential identification of the mummy of Hatshepsut is extremely interesting, as it will fill a huge gap in our knowledge concerning the final resting place of the queen and will help us understand the burials of royalty, both male and female.”
