Hatshepsut The women who would be king A little bit about Hatshepsut->>>

She was one of the wife's of the pharaoh Thutmose the second, who passed away. She had never given birth to a son. She later claimed that her father had chosen her to be his successor as pharaoh. She then built monumental sculptures and a temple (Deir el Bahri) to back up this claim. Where she is often depicted as a male figure. Wearing the false beard and head piece.

Her rule lasted for about 2 decades .

Unfortunately many of these sculptures suffered and became destroyed through the years.

Process of Mummification:

1. Removal of the internal organs, starting with smashing the brain and draining it out through the nose. lungsLiver, stomach and intestines are put in canopic jars filled with Natron Salts. The heart is one of the most important internal organs and is removed with great care.

2. The body is stuffed with more Natron salt. Then covered in salt for about 35 days leaving the body to dry out completely.

3. Tree resin is poured over the body to seal it. The body is then massaged with seader oils and more resin.

4. The body is then wrapped with bandages made of linen

5. Finally, the body is placed is a series of nested coffins, like the one of King Tut. Where we see a large outer coffin followed by other smaller highly decorated coffins and ending with his head piece placed directly over the mummy itself.
