Immerse yourself in the epic story of Hatshepsut-the longest-reigning female pharaoh of Ancient Egypt.Hatshepsut – Builder of a Kingdom in a King’s Attire recounts the captivating life of the second woman confirmed to rule Egypt in her own right, after Sobekneferu of the 12th Dynasty. A sovereign unlike any other, Hatshepsut boldly adopted the regalia of kingship, transcended gender norms, and defied deep-rooted traditions to secure her place at the pinnacle of power in a profoundly patriarchal world.
Far more than a regent for a child who was not her own, Hatshepsut transformed her temporary guardianship into an enduring reign. By commissioning magnificent temples and monuments, she carefully prepared her people to accept a woman as king, a transformation later sanctified by divine oracle.
In this book, Claudio Bocchia explores how Hatshepsut embodied both masculine and feminine qualities, presenting herself as both mother and father of her kingdom. Through political acumen, spiritual authority, and architectural grandeur, she upheld the divine order of Ma’at while reshaping the very definition of kingship.
This epic exploration unveils the bold strategies, monumental achievements, and timeless legacy of a woman who dared to reign as pharaoh-and succeeded.
