When does the Hollywood version of Hatshepsut's life come to the big screen? Although many readers were frustrated by Dr. Cooney's perceptions of what "possibly" or "likely" happened, I found them thought provoking and even allowed me to try to get inside the mind of the great Hatshepsut. One can only begin to imagine the possibilities of what really happened not only during her reign but how she was treated afterward and why. Although I imagine she would not be someone I would like as a person, I do admire many things about this self made woman who really had no royal lineage. Her intellect, vision and endurance to succeed in her self made role is true testimony to that all things are possible, even for a girl yet to become a woman. As with most non fiction biographies of this nature, I had to go back and reread several times different passages to make sure I understood or read them correctly. The description of her embalming was complete, leaving me cringing at the account. The lasting impression of the Egyptian culture, as any of the ancients, are to be remembered in our fast paced modern world. The length of the dynasties,care of future generations, and homage to those who went before them can only be recognized as positive qualities to their existence. Hatshepsut was fit to be king with the understanding and delivering all that was needed to make Egypt stronger. An enjoyable read even for someone who may not enjoy biographies.
