Easily forgotten is the real mix breed African Hebrews said mizraim ( Egypt) are the sons of HAM ! Herodotus tells us the kamau ( people of Kmt) wer the daughter of Ethiopia !! Not greed or Europe or Asia !! The Kamari themselves say they come from the realm of the mount of the moon were the god Hali dwells !! ( Hali is the Nike. The Nile comes 4,100 miles away from mt Kilimanjaro The South not from the north obviously !! So not a western invention as we know the term and not a western empire and older than the west wants to give it ! They teach Mesopotamia civilization is older which is a lie that they tell because it’s outside of africa !! But the original Elamite were black skin like the Tamil and the Sumerians Sag gig ga. “ call themselves the black heads. Do please don’t be mislead by this otherwise well written book. The feminist aspect is also overstated a great queen yes but it was outside the cultural parameters think a worker bee takes or the queen bee throne of the hive it’s a fluke and the later queen bee’s will probably try to forget it ever happened lol just like they did in kemet with the queen. She did have a lover ( she was human) but I forget his name and she did not have to use sex to get power as the author rightfully states but overly so Ten thousand yrs not three thousand. Was Kmt life time. And yes after a while the north became very mulatto perfect example of why mixing with them does not benefit us in the long time. They are natural usurper these children of Loki and they always have been so Read book with these precautions non Africoids will not accept this because they have been taught white did everything worthy in the past because they are in power now but that too is not the truth so my people read this with caution and don’t be swept away by their typical dexterity with the printed word. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars If you have an interest in both Egyptology and feminism….. *by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2023* You will love this book. Kara Cooney unabashedly admits that one path of thinking about Hatshepsut's life cannot be positively ascertained from the archaeological record. So, she is unafraid to say THIS may have been the motivation behind her actions or THAT, the complete opposite, may have come into play. It’s refreshing to not be told what to think. She does also present her own educated deductions, with the reasons behind her stance. It was also fascinating to be presented with glimpses into the daily of the Egyptian people. I have to admit I skipped the pages medically detailing how the mummies were prepared. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book *by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017* I am loving this book! From the very beginning, Kara Cooney makes it clear that a lot of the material is going to be based on educated guesses (i.e. what other reviewers here called "speculation"), but every speculation is supported by reflections on the documentation, informed analysis, and, yes, insights into human nature. The book reads like a novel. I am learning a whole lot about a powerful woman who learned to work within a system that did not recognize women as legitimate rulers, who was cautious in how she proceeded in her ascent to power, and who was not shy about manipulating her public presentation. And I am enjoying it tremendously.The only drawbacks I see in the book are these: First, the format of footnotes is a bit annoying. The commentary notes and the reference notes are done in the same format, so every I come across a footnote (done in the endnote format), I flip to the endnotes section to find out more. Sometimes, there is just the source reference. As I am not a historian, I am not particularly interested in which precisely source each particular bit of information comes from, although, of course, I appreciate that the information is sourced. At other times, however, there is a useful additional bit of information that contributes and complements the main text, such as reference to the existing debates, extensions of information etc. I wish the informational notes and source notes were done in different formats.Second, Dr. Cooney often refers to images and architecture, but directs the reader to other sources for the images. There is only one chapter where photos of the sculptures, obelisks, and the temple are included. It would have been a lot more informative to include those images throughout the book. For example, in the chapter relating to the officials Hatshepsut worked with, including one of the most prominent and important figures in her reign, Senenmut, there are references to his sculptures depicting his relationship with the royal daughter, Neferure. Yet the images of the sculptures do not appear until a different place in the text.But overall, the book is informative and captivating. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/19192303-the-woman-who-would-be-king-hatshepsuts-rise-to-power](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/19192303-the-woman-who-would-be-king-hatshepsuts-rise-to-power) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
