Pyramids_189

A female egyptian pharaoh (Queen Hatshepsut), stood in her magnificent residence with the great pyramids of giza, in the background. Hatshepsut was born between 1505 and 1495 BC as eldest daughter of Thutmose I and his great royal wife, Ahmose. After her father's death, Hatshepsut was then married to Thutmose II, her half-brother and father's heir, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old. Thutmose II was of a similar age.
