Deir el-Bahri (Temple of Hatshepsut), near Luxor, Egypt. A statue of Hatshepsut, as a male Pharoah. This like all statues found at this site, this has been reconstructed from pieces of the original, which still show traces of the original coloring. Hatshepsut was scourged by her successors, as the only woman who ever had the temerity to rule Egypt as a man (pharoah). © Rick Collier
