| One of the obelisks at Karnak |
I guess Hatshepsut turned out to be much more important than anyone thought she would. I don't know how but apparently one of the most exciting parts of her reign was when she had men go to Punt (Ancient Egyptian town) and bring Myrrh trees, yes I know trees, back to her "palace". One other thing she did was in Karnak she built two hundred foot tall, seven hundred thousand pound, single piece of red granite obelisks. That's not all, they were topped with gold too and were placed so that the sun god Ra could see them every time he crossed over Karnak.
