In my opinion, Hatshepsut is way too underrated while Cleopatra is pretty overrated. It's time for an epic movie about Hatshepsut.

[@justchevrotainrating]

Nerfertari (Favorite wife of Ramesses the Great, and not to be confused with Nefertiti) was a scribe, the peak of academics in her time, given the low overall literacy and complexity of their writing system. She also acted as a diplomat, exchanging gifts and letters with the wives of her husband's enemies, who she addressed as her sisters.

I think I heard somewhere that the attempt to erase her, at least partially, allowed some of her artifacts to survive intact. the carvings on her obelisks were simply covered over with fresh stone, which was then exposed to the elements to fade into obscurity, while the covering stone protected Hatshepsut's carvings. might not be true, but if so, it would be one in the eye for those who wanted her memory erased.

[@EMurph42]

Dragonis Prime Akhenaten was so controversial that little is known about him. Might be a short show. “This guy made the Sun the only God. Really passed off his people. They destroyed almost all evidence of his existence. He fathered a child with his sister & that kid was king Tut. The end” there’s your script.

[@VideoGamesInTheAM]

Or Nefertiti

[@--enyo--]

I’d really like to se Akhenaten as well. 👍🏻👍🏻 Even if it is mostly discussing conflicting evidence (or lack thereof). I find that side of history really interesting.

[@sonyonker]

Yes! Akhenaten, the most interesting! The first to realise that the closest thing humans have to god is the sun. It exists which is a bonus, and all life only exists because of it. On the other hand he’s the first to worship a single god instead of multiple....probably the worst thing to happen to humanity given the ongoing argument that there’s only one god and if my god isn’t the same as your god then we must kill each other....

[@bkmustaciola]

@@sonyonker Well, I pray to Joe Pesci because Joe Pesci seems like a guy who knows how to get things done. Plus, I've seen Joe Pesci. Being able to see your God is a real boon to a religion.

[@Fantasygirl2001]

Hatshepsut actually according to a more recent study that covered many female pharaohs actually more or less tried to better prepare her stepson for ruling by allowing him to sort of learn at her side both during the time of her regency and even more after she became pharaoh my suspicions based on that video is that She believed that his education was more important and would have been greatly hindered by him taking the throne so she took power not really a way from him as a userper might but upon herself so he could learn not only about the politics of ruling but also how best to lead wars and military campaigns and many others things it was prudent for pharaohs to know. If anything from what that video shows I would guess that Hatshepsut not only cared for her stepson but wanted him to become as strong a pharaoh as she could mold him into because she had seen what happens to weak kings whether her husband and half brother was one or not is debatable but based on the fact that he died when his son was a toddler I suspect it is very likely so to avoid that happening to Thutmose 3 she seized power and took up the business of ruling all the while having her stepson go on campaigns mostly to guard the borders or minor raids but still enough to teach him how to fight and build plenty of muscle on him

There's an amazing thing if you know more about the Egyptian Faith... The greatest way to deny someone immortality (the Fields of Aaru/Reeds) which was the afterlife the Egyptians would reach after their heart passed the trial of Ma'at (The weighing of the heart) , was to erase them from history, to make them no longer remembered. the Egyptians would even erase their names on their tombs or turn their name into a curse.

Obviously most paint the Confederate Generals as villains however when you look at things from a wider lens, many of them were men fighting for their homes and fellow Southerners. From Grant to Sherman and "Stonewall" Jackson and even Forrest, the Generals of the Civil War always felt like they were larger than life and I would love to see episodes on them. There is a lot of content to research and I feel this could be an amazing addition to your already very impressive series. Look forward to more episodes to come.

The statues depicting her as a man are progressive, there are stages of transformation from representing herself solely as a man to introducing more feminine details in the statues produced over the years as a way of easing in to being Queen and not King. She also concocted a myth about her birth that she had inscribed in the Red Chapel that she was the daughter of the god Amun so that she could justify her rule. She was also the aunt of Thutmoses III and was not initially married to her half brother Thutmoses II but strong armed her way in as a royal wife part of the way through Thutmoses II’s reign.
