I remember this June I watched a documentary about a group of scientists finally founded Hatshepsut’s missing mummy. When lots of people believed that she was assassinated, the scientists used the CT scan and found the tumors on lots of her organs, she also suffered from tooth disease and gouts and diabetes. In the end, it was the tooth disease which caused infection that claimed her life. Imagining her final days must had been really painful to her, to endure the tortures from lots of diseases... Also in the 16th year of her reign, she lost her lover senmut and her daughter nefer, the two dearest people in her life... she was in the end alone and miserable The historian Kara Kooney as Zahi Hawass said that she was a strong woman by looking at her mummy, and I think she is, for she was an amazing female ruler who stood firm and still in countless difficulties and loneliness, she was better than most of other male rulers and she set up an example for the future queen rulers like empress wu, queen Elizabeth I, and Ekaterina II, etc (Although those future queens knew nothing about this ancient queen)
