A pharaonic love story ... Queen Hatshepsut falls in love with an engineer from the common people(The true story of the mummy movie )

Despite the fact that Hatshepsut was the most famous and powerful of the Pharaonic era queens in ancient Egypt, as the country ruled for more than 20 years with strength and competence, she could not prevent her heart from pounding with love towards her own architect, "Sennemot", who granted him about 80 royal titles, in contravention of norms. Pharaonic, as he was a commoner, and in return, that lover designed the most beautiful limestone funerary temple in the history of the Pharaohs according to many researchers, so that Zahi Hawass, the famous Egyptologist, said it a lot "if the ancient travelers who chose the Seven Wonders of the World visited Luxor, choose one unique Hatshepsut Temple None of them. "

Granddaughter of King Ahmose governs Egypt

Muhammad Abdullah, a professor of Egyptology, said that "Queen Hatshepsut is the granddaughter of King Ahmose I, the liberator of Egypt, from the conquest of the Hyksos, as the fifth Pharaonic queen is considered in the chain of 18th family kings. The country ruled for more than 20 years (1479-1458 BC), after the death of Her sick husband, Thutmose II, as a guardian of the young king, Thutmose III, her husband's son from one of the neighborhoods, despite the objection of many senior priests that a woman should take over the rule of Egypt, as traditions and customs used to be the ruler of the country as a man, but Hatshepsut managed to control them all with the assistance of the engineer ( Snooten, who not only designed her temples, but also plans for it Many of its resolutions, too. "

The splendor of the architectural design of the Queen Hatshepsut Temple

While archaeological expert Ali Najjar explains that "the reign of Queen Hatshepsut was distinguished. She won the approval of the common people despite the wrath of the priests, and was able to form the strongest army in the world at that time terrorizing all invaders without wars, and established strong diplomatic relations with neighboring countries after the country was In a bad situation during the reign of Tuthmosis the Second, which was characterized by severe weakness due to his continuing illness, as commercial caravans activated with most of the countries of Africa, and this is why they formed the largest naval fleet in the region, and in general their period was marked by prosperity, peace and development compared to all the reigns of the 18 family kings. "

The secret of exercising judgment with a false beard!

Historians have argued that the engineer Senemoot was supportive of Hatshepsut in enabling her to take the reins of government

Hussein Abdel Moneim, a tourist guide, pointed out that "Hatshepsut was a beautiful female as it seemed from her various statues, but that she wore the clothes of men after assuming power, as was using the borrowed beard, to get rid of the objection of the chief priests of the god Amon, who believed that the Pharaonic king He must be a man. "

As for Sunnmut, Hajjaj Salameh, director of the Luxor Center for Research, Heritage and Development, says of him, "He was one of the most skilled engineers of funerary temples in Pharaonic history, and he was from a simple family from the public, Hatshepsut recognized him when he was supervising the grain and food stores during the reign of her husband Tuthmosis the Second, and grew up Between them, mutual trust soon turned into a love story before she took office. "

Queen Hatshepsut

He continues, "Many historians argue that Senamoot was the first supporter of Hatshepsut to enable her to take the reins of government, and her appointment to him as director of her property and director of caring for her daughter (Nefro Ra) and head of the royal court is the best proof of his standing with her."

80 royal titles

Queen Hatshepsut launched 80 royal titles on the engineer Sennemot, contrary to the pharaonic norms

Abd Allah Abd Al-Naeem, a professor of Egyptology, notes that "the position that Senmot got during the reign of Hatshepsut was not unusual, because the launch of 80 royal titles on the architect of the common people was unprecedented in the Pharaonic customs, which prompted the priests of the god Amon to provoke anger The little boy at the time Tuthmosis the third was the legal heir to the throne of the country, but the latter could not do anything. "

He explains, "A prominent indication of the love story that brought them together is that this engineer designed a passage between his own cemetery and that of Hatshepsut to keep in touch with her in the other world, according to the Pharaonic belief, and this was also uncharacteristic."

Abdel-Naeem added that "some researchers in ancient Pharaonic history suggest that the daughter of Hatshepsut (Nefro-Ra) was not the daughter of King Tuthmosis the Second, the king of the long illness, but rather we would die her father, and one of the reasons for their suggestion is that his statues show him embracing this child without her sister (Merit Ra Hatshepsut(.

Getting rid of the heir to the throne

Abdel-Naeem also notes that "some of the murals confirm beyond any doubt that Senmut was not an ordinary person or just a skilled engineer during the time of Hatshepsut, but was closest to her in all of her decisions, where some texts show his help in overcoming the rebellion of priests, and helping them In planning to get rid of Thutmose III, the young heir to the throne as soon as he reached it by sending him at the head of the Egyptian armies of the war in Gaza, with the aim of getting rid of him indirectly. "

Hussein Abd al-Hakim, professor of history, states that "the story of love that brought together Hatshepsut and Sennamoot was complicated, it could not be announced officially, but the many testimonies of each other's standing at the other were unusual, which was the subject of controversy and anger among the senior Priests. "

For his part, Salah Al-Masakh, an archaeologist expert in the Directorate of Luxor Archeology, says, "The lover engineer was able to design and implement the most beautiful archaeological works in the history of the 18th Pharaonic family, the most prominent of which is the Hatshepsut Temple, which is the most beautiful in the history of ancient Egypt, and it has implemented it over 15 years of Three successive limestone floors, with a design different from all the funerary temples at the time.

He continues, "Everyone who visits this temple touches the state of love that accompanied its construction, and that we will die designed for Hatshepsut the most beautiful obelisks of 30 meters, and one of them is still in the Karnak Temple in Luxor, while Napoleon Bonaparte (commander of the French campaign against Egypt) seized the second obelisk and installed On the Place de la Concorde in Paris, after its exquisite design and unique implementation was impressed. "

The mysterious end ... and blurring the names of lovers

"Although the researchers disagreed about the end of Hatshepsut and whether she was killed or had cancer, all of them agreed that King Tuthmosis the Third immediately after assuming the reins of power was keen to obliterate and remove the name Hatshepsut, and we will die from many temples, because what their story represented He has a source of inconvenience and embarrassment in front of the priests and the general public, and the mystery witnessed the end of the lover

A British tourist named Jaini Ashkar expressed her admiration for the story of the love of Queen Hatshepsut and Sennamoot, and said, "Despite the many challenges they faced, history immortalized the story of their love through these unique archaeological works. On the whole, it affirms that love always dissolves differences and barriers between all. "
