Nearly 3500 years ago, the female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, ruled Egypt. A powerful queen, she appears in temple carvings in a kind of ancient drag, with broad chest and false beard, and trappings more typical of a king. Historians say she did this only as a necessary political tactic. In her tomb, she was found alongside two other female mummies. No one knows who they were or why they were there.
