When They Were Pharaohs Paperback - 2009

by Timothy Lawrence


From the publisher

3,000 years ago the world was once ruled by a woman, a woman who would forever change her times. A queen more powerful than Cleopatra and Nefertiti, who defied the tradition of the age, stole the throne from her stepson, dressed up like a man, wore a false beard, claimed that she was born of immaculate conception and actually declared herself the son of God. Egypt's only female Pharaoh, in the year 2007 her royal mummy was found. This is the story of that woman... and the man who tried to erase her from history forever. The queen who became a king. The commoner who became a conqueror. The greatest empire, the world had ever known. The true story of the dramatic life and times of the controversial female Pharaoh Hatshepsut who was history's first great ruling woman and the story of Egypt's greatest warrior Pharaoh Thutmose III. "A groundbreaking historical play about a largely unknown [ancient] Egyptian queen, who reigned centuries ago," by an author "possessing a multitude of artistic talents that are almost dizzying in their scope." - Donna Owens, national freelance journalist for The Chicago Tribune, O The Oprah Magazine, NPR/WYPR-FM, The Baltimore Sun and The Wall Street Journal online.
