She mightn’t look like much now, but archaeologists are claiming to have identified the mummy of the pharoah Hatshepsut, the only woman to have ruled pharonic Egypt in her own right, and almost certainly the most powerful woman in the pre-common era (ie. BC).
Of course, listening to Radio 4 some other archaeologists are questioning this, and the evidence doesn’t look particularly strong, but it would be nice if true.
