asveen 's review for:
Absolutely fascinating! I was quickly confronted with my own lack of knowledge regarding Ancient Egyptian culture and rituals, as I found myself aghast at how sexual the history of Hatshepsut was. It's hard to listen to it without overlaying my current opinions and perspectives on morality, but it was still extremely fascinating to learn about this woman's life.
Very well done and very comprehensive. At first I was annoyed at how often it was repeated that many things weren't recorded - such as peoples opinions and how people felt about different things, but there is quite a bit of conjecture within the story on how people were feelings and about different reactions. I think there are probably some false assumptions present, but when you take the attempts to create a more internal monologue of a narrative with some salt, it is a great overview of such a powerful and barely known (at least to me and people I know) King's life.
3.5, almost four stars, but not quite enough to reach that fourth star, hence giving it 3.
