"Ma'at-ka-Ra - 'Truth/Order/Balance ("Ma'at") is the Spirit/Double ("ka") of Ra' Hatshepsut - 'Foremost of Noble Women' "

Well, I really enjoyed drawing this picture, and I took great effort into making it look supremely detailed. I tried my best with the shading, but I'm afraid my efforts failed. The eye makeup was fun and I absolutely love the eyes and the high cheek bones. The ceremonial headdress and necklace is quite accurate surprisingly. I hope you all enjoy it. Below is a brief history of the only female pharaoh in Egyptian history.

- Due to the young age of the Pharaoh, Hatshepsut became his regent. They ruled together for a number of years until she proclaimed herself Pharaoh (perhaps when Thuthmose III was reaching manhood) - something almost unheard of, despite the higher status of women in Egypt compared to women in other cultures at the time. Women could own land, inherit from family members, and even go to court to defend her rights. But before Hatshepsut, there were queens who had ruled Egypt... but not a female Pharaoh.

She managed to rule for about twenty years, before disappearing from history... coinciding with Thuthmose III's becoming Pharaoh in his own right
