Hatshepsut
NA Perfume Description
Ma'at-ka-Ra Hatshepsut was the daughter to Thutmose I. She would marry her half-brother - he
would become Thutmose II of which they had a daughter Nefrura. Upon Thutmost II's death - his
son - by another wife would marry his half-sister Nefrura but they were too young to reign as
sovereign.
Hatshepsut would build the first quarry temple cut out of the mountainside in Egypt at Speos Artemidos and her more famous mortuary temple at Deir El-Bahri for herself. Not only was she a Pharaoh in her own right, she was an artist that wanted her Egypt more beautiful than it was and more regal than any other Pharaoh before her.
Because the children were so young Hatshepsut acted as regent and eventually crowned herself Queen. She would enlist the help of her birthright as the daughter to Thutmose I and would ultimately use that divine right to take the throne. She portrayed herself in text and in art as male and therefore the Pharaoh Queen of Egypt, keeping the standard of Kingship, and thus becoming King.
After the 20th year of her son Thutmose III's reign Hatshepsut disappears from history. It is said that her step-son erased his mother-in-law out of revenge or maybe to erase the odd Pharaoh Queen in the succession of the Thutmose's of Egypt. Her body was never to be found. Howard Carter (Egyptologist and founder of King Tut's tomb) was the initial finder of her tomb but the mummy found has always been under speculation of her true identity as this "mummy" was found lying on the ground near the tomb. It has never been identified specifically as Hatshepsut.
- June 28th, 2007 - Cairo, Egypt. "The long overlooked mummy has been significantly confirmed as the Pharaoh Queen Hatshepsut".
In honor of this find NA has created an aspiring floral sentiment backed by the will of a Pharaoh Queen. A refreshing floral blend enhanced with the spices of nutmeg, clove and allspice.
This PC is available in a sample Skarab vial.
