Read MoreDeir el-Bahri (Temple of Hatshepsut), near Luxor, Egypt. A tired tour guide rests in a niche in a shaded portion of Hatshepsut's temple (also tomb). Above his head is the only extant heiroglyphic representation of Hatshepsut. This picture was actually defaced like all others in theis temple, but it was restored after the fact by one of her successors, Ramses. Hatshepsut was scourged by her successors, as the only woman who ever had the temerity to rule Egypt as a man (pharoah). © Rick Collier
