Egypt
Hatshepsut Statues on Special View
Suite 101 (Stan Parchin)
Thanks very much to Robert Espino for sending me the above link.
See the above page for more.Stone portraits of ancient Egypt's Queen Hatshepsut have found a temporary home in the Sackler Wing at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Two granite statues of ancient Egypt's Queen Hatshepsut (reigned ca. 1479-1458 B.C.), who ruled as a pharaoh, are on view temporarily in the Sackler Wing, home of the cult Temple of Dendur (ca. 15 B.C.), at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. They'll return to their nearby gallery this Fall when its renovation is completed. The Eighteenth Dynasty monarch has been in the news as of late. Pending DNA test results, evidence strongly suggests that a mummy now in Cairo's Egyptian Museum is that of the controversial ruler.
