Fully acknowledging that this is one person's take on Hatshepsut's biography, it sounds like the author is knowledgeable in ancient Egypt, appears to base her conclusions on facts, and has done some serious contemplation on interpreting what she knows and fleshing that out to make the woman and her world become real in the mind's eye.This level of research and the author's interpretation reminds me of [b:The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon: An Elusive World Wonder Traced 16179911 The Mystery of the Hanging Garden of Babylon An Elusive World Wonder Traced Stephanie Dalley https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1354631905l/16179911.SY75.jpg 22034490], which I also enjoyed.
