Ancient Egypt's Cancelled Queen

At Deir el-Bahari, Hatshepsut’s terraces stage a case for divine rule (her birth, her voyage to Punt, her partnership with Amun), while the edits themselves reveal who needed her gone, and why. Downriver, the Ramesseum answers in a different register: pylons, colossi, storerooms, and the Kadesh epic stamped again and again, Ramesses II writing himself into eternity by sheer volume. Put them together and you get a duel of memory across the West Bank: one ruler arguing legitimacy with choreography and theology, another with conquest and abundance.
