And then Thutmose III did everything he could to erase/destroy anything that mentioned her.
It was probably Thutmoses son and her that did that .
The destruction was carried out late in Tutmoses reign when his son was co pharaoh, It was probably Thutmoses son trying to secure his claim to the throne over descendants of Hatshepsut
They sure knew how to choose their names back then
It's hard carving hieroglyphs, it's much easier to scratch in lines after someone's name.
I wonder who had/has the longest generational suffix
There was a Ramesses XI.
Holy f.
History teacher told us an easy way to remember her name.

It’s Thut + your three last letters in your first name.

Fun fact; The "ette" ending was used in all female Egyptian names, and we still use it today. The "Chipettes" being one example.
Gotta post the song about her from puppet history.
I went from I hate it to It's growing on me in thirty seconds.
That about describes Puppet History.
New season next month, btw.
There is a book about Hatshepsut called Child of the Morning. Author Pauline Getch. I read it years ago and, since I still remember the name and author after reading hundreds more since then, it is quite good.
I can scarcely imagine being surrounded by Thutmoses all day.
Hatshepsut was reincarnated as Tina Turner
The ancient Greeks found the Egyptians 'horrifyingly' egalitarian
Would love to get back to Egypt one of these days….The history is fascinating !

She also had to dress like a man, and wear a fake goatee, everyone just sort of pretended she was a dude, and she acted like it also.

I wonder if the poor working class had names that the ruling class would call them individually. Or were they were all seen as a monolith? I'm guessing the latter. Though, I have heard that pharaohs were buried with their favorite servants. Futurama taught me that.
Everyone had names, but I doubt the Pharaoh was walking around chatting with people. "Hey, Banafrit, how's Khaemweset doing? I heard he's working on my pyramid now. They grow up so fast."
Did they use the same naming conventions as the kings? All their sons and daughters were just named after their parents? I figure the kings and queens did this mostly for name recognition.
Many of them had their own names, Amenhotep was the son of Ahmose I. There are eleven different Ramesses, but only some of them are father and son.
It might have been a general tradition in that some people's sons are juniors.
EDIT: Apparently they often took regal names. Ramesses X was born Amonhirkhepeshef, but ruled as Khepermaatre. I'm not sure why we know him as Ramesses X.
Sounds like whitewashing, English empire at it again!

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad and so became my uncle though it made me very sad. For if he was my uncle that also made him the brother of the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my step-mother. I'm my own grandpa
