[FfFfFfFF 58,120]

Archaeologists have uncovered intact portions of the foundation wall of pharaonic Queen Hatshepsut's valley temple in Luxor and the nearby tomb of Queen Teti Sheri, grandmother of Ahmose I, the first pharaoh of Egypt's golden New Kingdom era.

The discovery of more than 1,000 decorated stone blocks on the outskirts of Hatshepsut's funerary temple above was announced on Wednesday by team leader Zahi Hawass, an Egyptian archaeologist and former minister of antiquities who has been leading excavations at the site since 2022.

It's crazy that after all this time we're still discovering artifacts! What a fascinating civilisation the egyptians were  Were female pharaos rare? I honestly never thought about women's leadership roles back then

While female pharaos were much rarer than their male counterparts, there is still a list of women that ruled Egypt.

Fletcher recognizes 12 female pharaohs, a higher number than most Egyptologists, including not only Cleopatra (both the one immortalized in Shakespeare's play and her identically named predecessors) and Nefertiti, but also several lesser-known women pharaohs who paved the way for their more famous successors.

(Nefertiti was the mother-in-law of Tutankhamon)

There has even been a female Islamic ruler early in the Early Middle Ages:

Shajara al-Durr (r. 1250) was the founder of the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt, and she was the first and only woman to sit on the Islamic Egyptian throne.

What if the Egyptian curses are real lol ?? 

Some years ago, when I was 16-17yo I was obsessed with Cleopatra figure, but I think that the place where her and Mark Anthony rest together, will remain a mystery.

Like the tomb of Alexander.  Maybe they are all buried together and this is why it's such an enigma.
