Pyramids_190

A female egyptian pharaoh (Queen Hatshepsut), stood with the great pyramids of giza in the background. Hatshepsut was born between 1505 and 1495 BC as eldest daughter of Thutmose I and his great royal wife, Ahmose. After her father's death, Hatshepsut was then married to Thutmose II, her half-brother and father's heir, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old. Thutmose II was of a similar age.
