This changes how we look at the relationship between the two monarchs during their coregency , and his motive for attacking her monuments: <I>20 years or more is too long to hold such a grudge before carrying out destructive measures because of it. </I><BR/><BR/>Whatever the real reasons, the mutilation was never absolute: her monumental inscriptions at Deir el Bahri are still quite legible. There certainly was a concerted effort to persecute the memory of the female king, but it may have been of limited duration, and probably due to something other than hatred. <BR/><BR/>So, there are still many unanswered questions to keep us busy.Judith Weingartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683483030413488309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38472234.post-27730656456037514992007-07-02T20:32:00.000+02:002007-07-02T20:32:00.000+02:00It's a fascinating story, though I doubt if we wil...It's a fascinating story, though I doubt if we will ever ascertain the real truth about what happened to Hathshepsut's bodily remains. Her son and co-regent hated her, had her inscriptions effaced after she died, and it would sound reasonable that he kicked her out of her grave too, mummy and all. Besides, how unusual is the name Hatshepsut? Where there princesses or noblewomen who were called Hatshepsut and if so, can they be the now found Hatshepsut?<BR/><BR/>Please enlighten us! <BR/><BR/>Gerti and HarmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
