| Hatshepsuts Temple |
OK this is so so so soooooo totally unfair but apparently Hatshepsuts husband, Thutmose II, had his tomb built into the Valley of Kings but since there was no area for women, come on I mean she was just as famous as the rest of the kings (probably more), she had to BUILD HER OWN TOMB!!!! OK not literally she had people do it for her (obviously she was a queen) but you know what I mean. Her tomb was constructed in some cliffs facing the river and her sarcophagus was inscribed with a big long saying about how she was a good princess, royal wife and daughter blah blah blah. Anyway when Howard Carter, a guy who seems to have a talent in finding mummies, found it in 1916, before he found King Tutankhamuns (King Tut), he discovered it was never actually finished and never used!! It turns out that she apparently decided to be buried with her father, Thutmose I. So she started another project and added a new entrance and hallway to Thutmose I tomb. Actually her Father had apparently been moved to the Valley of Kings after her death. So most people assumed she was the mummy they discovered in her nurses tomb.
