“This is Berk, son. It is my job as chief to protect us and one day, when you are all grown up, that job will be passed on to you. Out there, beyond the sunset, lies the home of the Dragons. And I believe, it is your destiny to one day find this hidden world, so that people and dragons will fight no more…”

Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt. She has a lovely smile for someone who’s been dead for thousands of years.

she wasn’t a queen. she was a pharaoh and wanted to be referred to as such. she even had her statues modeled after the male pharaoh’s statues to state her dominance and authority. she was actually one of the most successful pharaohs in all of ancient egyptian history and she reigned longer than any other woman in power in egypt.

damn no wonder she died and smiled for a trillion years afterwards

The fact that we know about her is marvelous.

the next Pharaoh after her Tuthmosis III  tried to erase Hatshepsut out of history ,chiseled her name off her monuments ,covered the text on her obelisks with stone,knocked down and defaced her statues .

she was even left off the list of pharaohs ..talk about some patriarchy bullshit

her name was lost for a couple of millennia, her body was found in a unmarked grave  in early twentieth century

sad part is in Egyptian belief is  if your are forgotten in the living world you don’t exist in the afterlife,so he was trying to kill her even in death 

My best friend throwing down some herstory. A+ commentary

She wore a fake beard, you guys. She was the fucking boss.

If we remember her now does that save her from an awful afterlife?

I’m just picturing the Kemetic afterlife. All the Pharaohs are hanging out in some kind of swanky club, drinking and congratulating each other on being bros. 

The doors slam open and Hatshepsut strides in, glorious, robes swirling, rocking the fake beard and the insane amounts of wealth and power. “Miss me, bitches?” 

Then she punches Tuthmosis III straight in the dick.

Reblog so Hatshepsut can dick punch tuthmosis in the afterlife.

ok but we still don‘t know why exactly thutmosis III tried to rease her bc it‘s believed they got along, hatshepsut (his aunt btw) taking the throne in his stead bc he was too young. but apparently she gave him the throne willingly later and maybe he was just a dumb kiddo doing it out of spite or something

but it‘s basically just another ancient egypt riddle

Bless whoever made this.

it doesn’t matter that i tend to be sensitive just tell me straight up and i’ll understand and do my best to be better since all i want to do is improve as a person and no one can improve if no one communicates their problems

Someone I love and care a lot about held a grudge against me for an entire year before they told me. It hit me harder than I can possibly describe. Please, just be upfront and honest with me.
