Egypt 7/10

  1. hatshepsut went out of her way to really claim that she wanted to keep her power rather than giving it over to the rightful ruler. the architecture and symbolism that was used is interesting. the use of the nile river was used in many ways and one of the ways was to transport architecture. the fact that no one knows really what happened to her is a great mistery and im curious to know what happened.

  2. A little bit of drama in Egyptian history. Someone could even make a movie about it. The engineering on the obelisks is something that stands out to me. It seems harder to move one giant rock than a few hundred thousand, less giant ones. We see Egypt move towards a more political/expansionist stance as most of these rulers worry about power.
