White Limestone Statue of Hatshepsut – Video

Can you tell how excited/happy 𓄫𓄣𓏏 I am in this video? 

It’s no secret π“ƒ€π“‹΄π“†Ÿπ“› that the White Limestone π“‡‹π“ˆ–π“ˆ™π“Œ‰ Statue 𓏏𓅱𓏏𓀾 of Hatshepsut π“‡‹π“ π“ˆ–π“ŽΉπ“π“„‚π“π“€Όπ“ͺ is my absolute favorite artifact that has ever been found in Egypt π“†Žπ“…“π“π“Š–! This is the piece that captured my imagination and I’ll never forget the first 𓏃 time I saw this statue 𓏏𓅱𓏏𓀾 with my Nonno! 

Nonno was always so excited to tell me about Hatshepsut π“‡‹π“ π“ˆ–π“ŽΉπ“π“„‚π“π“€Όπ“ͺ, because she was the most successful female pharaoh 𓉐𓉻. Her twenty π“Ž†π“Ž† year rule π“‹Ύπ“ˆŽπ“ was marked by big building projects (her mortuary temple 𓂦𓂋𓂦π“₯𓉐), economic prosperity (the expedition to Punt π“Šͺπ“ƒΊπ“ˆ–π“π“ˆ‰) and peace! 

Not only is this White Limestone π“‡‹π“ˆ–π“ˆ™π“Œ‰ Statue 𓏏𓅱𓏏𓀾 of Hatshepsut π“‡‹π“ π“ˆ–π“ŽΉπ“π“„‚π“π“€Όπ“ͺ just absolutely stunning π“„€, I love the hieroglyphs π“ŠΉπ“Œƒπ“ͺ on it because Hatshepsut π“‡‹π“ π“ˆ–π“ŽΉπ“π“„‚π“π“€Όπ“ͺ refers to herself using the female form of words in the inscriptions π“Ÿπ“›π“₯! These were also some of the first inscriptions π“Ÿπ“›π“₯ I learned how to read, so they are very special to me!Β
