Kayleigh, thank you for providing such a thorough representation of Hatsepshut. I had always admired what she had accomplished. Your discussion on whether Thutmmos III or Seti I defaced her images was interesting and provided some logical arguments against it being Thutmos III.
I wish there was more time showing you talking about the specific subjects.. pictures of the subjects are helpful can become boring, but we never get bored watching you speak..❤
I am constantly amazed with the depth of your knowledge on these subjects! Surely you have a photographic memory! ❤
I sure wish you would have been my History teacher! So beautiful! I can watch you for hours! And actually learn quite a bit of new information on so many of the topics that I am interested in and have studied some on, although, you are much more knowledgeable in most than I am.. I love learning about these amazing historical facts with you! I will be a fan as long as you put out videos!❤
why don't they ever make shows or documentaries about hapshetut who actually did something of worth unlike Cleopatra 7th
I am glad to know her nephew did not try to erase her. She after all did him a favor and groomed him to be her heir. Why would he resent that. He got lots of training and time to grow. As you said he had the armies. hmm I wonder if she indulged him on many things.
Amazing presentation again. Love the Topic of women in ancient times. Thank you
Her mortuary temple is absolutely stunning. I’d love to have seen it in person but that’s not going to happen. I enjoy learning about historical females who are ass kickers!
I have a question. Where did Hatshepsut live. Do she have a palace or a house somewhere. It have to be big. Because she have a big staf. There have to be kitchens, bedrooms etc etc. Is there some place????
Which goes to show how unreliable science can be in the hands of biased people who can't leave aside their personal issues and try to be more objective.
I can Pharaoh as well as any man….oh crap..

Best video on Hatshepsut I have seen! Flawless analysis and comprehensive for a video of this length.
Please consider doing a video on Neith or Neithhotep.
Hatshepsut is one of my very favourite historical characters. I agree with your take on the ''damnatio memoriae'', the Red Chapel shows that there was no feud between Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III, she seems to have been a pragmatic leader who wanted to ensure a smooth succession with Tuthmosis being trained as a good army general – which is what he became.
Her reign actually marks an important turning point in art, in the way royals are represented, especially in statuary, and there is also an important point about her promoting the cult of Amun right above other gods. This may have been seen as the seed for the Amarna schism. I remember coming across egyptologists's papers stating that a lot of the defacing of Hatsheput's monuments occurred after the fall of Akhenaten. That said, I also read papers stating that Akhenaten himself indulged in some of the defacing/appropriating.
As for the mummy ''identification'', I always thought it was a rushed joke, it was done during the filming of a National Geographic docu (so no corporate pressure at all, eh), and the arguments put across in the actual docu do not stand the test of basic logic (that assumption that the skin marks on a group of mummies ''had to be caused by a genetic disease'', being only one of the absurdities which led to ''identifying'' a yet unknown mummy as Hatshepsut). I am glad that at least some officially sanctioned people came to their senses and questioned the identification from 2011 onwards. I questioned it upon watching the documentary.
Beautiful video of Egypt 🇪🇬 ❤️.
I was lecturing at ASU last year, ironically about Civil War generals. I tangentially referenced Hatepshut in the context you present here, as an example of getting the historical record wrong by relying on stereotypes. I was interrupted by a MAGA type (this is Arizona) who said that she had lived in Egypt and knew that Hatepshut was not a woman. No credentials, no data, just reaction to an uncomfortable interpretation. Of course, she was exemplifying exactly the knee jerk myth spinning that had led me to exemplify Hatepshut in the first place. Suffice it to say the reputations of Generals Lee and Grant survived my lecture. I hope I made a dent in the caricatures of Old Marse and Grant the Butcher as historical spin. What stayed with me was that woman’s emotional attachment to a notion that the enigmatic Pharoah Hatepshut never existed and certainly wasn’t a woman
So I want to know how we discern pronunciation of names from hieroglyphics.
She was a female, so she obviously didn't get addicted to the power like a man would?🤨
Excellent job! I've watched a lot of documentaries on her life, but you condensed it enough to be shorter (for the short attention span of many people, now) and yet didn't leave much out. Very well done!

~standing ovation for you~
Amaziiiiing! July 2022 KEEP TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!
You have done an excellent job with this video. Women have always been great leaders.
Unique
It's a good story, tell it any way you want .
very educational videos, i like the vids you make, keep them coming beautiful , thanks kayleigh
Fascinating
The People did not like her, because for thousands of years, they only had a Male Pharoh. The people must have been very upset, if they spent years after her passing, in Destroying her likeness and everything to do with her. Kinda like the Heretic King, Tuts father. Great video and no DisRespect intended. RH DSD
Hi. Most egyptologists claim thutmose iii defaced hatshepsuts monuments. I disagree with this view. Studies of the 18th dynasty from a Khemet view women were equal to men which seems like this argues against the male rage theories most commonly put forth. Also it seems like the entire 18th dynasty was under assault by the priest hood.
Now i have a love of history. Thanks.
Enjoyed this and ones on hominids, human history. You make history easier to want to know and with a breath of beauty
It's appalling how Egyptologists back then lost their minds at the idea of a OMG! FEMALE pharaoh!! Just like they did with the idea of the Kushite pharaohs. Wouldn't the world be such a better place without prejudice and discrimination? 😋
Great video, Kayleigh! 👍👍❤❤
I'm glad that the female rulers of antiquity are finally being recognised as such.
Thank you for this video, Kayleigh. Fantastic and informative, as always.
Hi! Great video ! do you have any idea why the Speos Artemidos was named after the Greek goddess Artemis?
Somebody needs to do a new book on Hatshepsut and all that has been very recently discovered. I feel there are still many things to discover about this woman.
Another great video by my favorite youtuber. 🙂
this video deserves over a million views
