Queen Hatshepsut

Every Egyptian actress’s dream is to portray the role of Queen Hatshepsut, as her story is fit to become a movie.

Hatshepsut is the most powerful woman in history, who ruled Egypt for nearly 22 years. She is the daughter of King Thutmose I. After his death, he left the throne to his son King Thutmose II, who later married his sister Hatshepsut.

Thutmose II was too young to rule so Hatshepsut ruled Egypt as queen regent. King Thutmose II had a son from his second wife, Thutmose III, who would rule Egypt after the death of his father.

In 2007, archaeologist Zahi Hawass removed from the tomb an unidentified body and moved it to Tahrir Museum for testing. The mummy had a missing tooth, and the space in the jaw perfectly matched Hatshepsut’s existing molar, found in the DB320 box.

The queen’s mummy was obese, and her death has been attributed to a carcinogenic skin lotion found in possession of the Pharaoh. She died at the age of 50 from bone cancer.
