Hatshepsut reigned peacefully for over twenty years in the 15th century BC, ushering in a renaissance that marked the beginning of the New Kingdom period in ancient Egyptian history.
What made Hatshepsut so threatening to the existing royal order, even decades after she ruled? Her gender, mainly okay, mostly. Although women in Egypt had more rights and greater status than those in many other ancient societies, a female Pharaoh was totally unheard of… until Hatshepsut made the daring power play of promoting herself from Queen Regent for her young nephew to King in her own right as the firstborn heir of Thutmose I.
Obey her words; unite yourselves at her command. At first, Hatshepsut felt the need to downplay her unconventional position by combining male and female iconography in her statues and reliefs: in many early depictions of her, she is shown with the body of a woman but the traditionally male headdress of a Pharaoh, or dressed in an ankle-length gown but with her legs wide apart in the pose of a man.
Later, however, Hatshepsut fully asserted her authority by presenting herself as a male King — no apologies! And from literature, Greek writers like Herodotus and Aristotle referred to Egyptians as having dark skin. Female pharaohs did not have a different title from male counterparts, but were simply called pharaohs.
Used to bury leaders and wealthy residents in ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece, a sarcophagus is a coffin or a container to hold a coffin. Most sarcophagi are made of stone and displayed above ground. The mummies of pharaohs were placed in ornate stone coffins called sarcophaguses. They were then buried in elaborate tombs filled with everything they'd need for the afterlife such as vehicles, tools, food, wine, perfume, and household items. Some pharaohs were even buried with pets and servants.
When kings were being judged by Osiris, Anubis placed their hearts on one side of a scale and a feather representing Maat on the other. Anubis is the son of Osiris and Nephthys. As nouns the difference between coffin and sarcophagus is that coffin is an oblong closed box in which a dead person is buried while sarcophagus is a stone coffin , often inscribed or decorated with sculpture. Did you know? Hatshepsut was only the third woman to become pharaoh in 3, years of ancient Egyptian history, and the first to attain the full power of the position.
Cleopatra, who also exercised such power, would rule some 14 centuries later. Ramesses II c. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, itself the most powerful period of Ancient Egypt.

The Egyptians are not Arabs , and both they and the Arabs are aware of this fact.
