Queen Hatshepsut: Unbelievable, My Body Was Discovered in the Valley of the Kings
A few months ago, I was inundated with emails (actually about 5, but Clint also got 5) directing me to news reports about the fact that my body had been discovered by Egyptologists/Archaeologists in the Valley of the Kings. I could not believe it for several reasons. First, I thought I had my body (how else could I move around, etc.). Second, one of my friends (Carol) told me I was a fat woman who may have diabetes. As far as I know, I do not have diabetes. Third, I thought I did a really good job of instructing my servants to hide me far within the crevices of the Valley of the Kings. Apparently, they did not exactly follow orders. Otherwise, my body would never have been discovered. But, on the bright side, I was buried in the Valley of the Kings and not in the Valley of the Queens. Last, I am the most important discovery since King Tut…sweet! Honestly, I was far more powerful than Cleopatra. As the saying goes, I was the Queen who ruled like a Pharaoh. Here’s a link to a news article in case you are interested about the discovery, which includes a picture of my body: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/06/27/sciegypt127.xml
