The Tomb of Hatshopsitu The Life and Monuments of the Queen
In a rare gesture of feminine ambition Queen Hatshepsut HCtshopsC.tC assumed the throne of Egypt shortly after the death of her husband Tuthmosis II holding on to power for two decades until 1458 BC. As pharaoh she prepared a burial for herself in the Valley of the Kings. This extraordinary spiral tomb was first cleared by Howard Carter for Theodore M. Davis between 1903 and 1904. Though officially emptied in antiquity the tomb still contained many fragments of the burial and two superb sarcophagi prepared for both the queen herself and for her father Tuthmosis I. The Tomb of HCtshopsC.tC first published in 1906 is Davis official account of this important discovery with contributions on the historical background from Cdouard Naville and on the tombs excavation and finds by Carter himself who was also responsible for the plates.
