Wow, that's very cool. I always found Hatshepsut fascinating. Embarrassingly, I was prompted to learn about her from watching the fairly bad TV show called Isis (which was a spinoff of Captain Marvel which was even worse) when I was a kid. (The intro to the show referenced Hatshepsut by name). Took me forever to figure out how her name was spelled though.
I remember Isis! I think I still might have an issue of the related comic book somewhere too. (No, my mother didn't throw away my comic books, but there's no hidden gold mine there because I actually read mine. Frequently.)
I picked up Egyptology stuff from my mother. It was quite a thing when the Tutankhamen exhibit was touring the U.S., but living in Alaska there was no chance we were going to get to see it.
