The Egyptian queen is both fat and bald

Last week, an Egyptian official claimed to have found the mummy of Hatshepsut, a female pharaoh in the 15th century BC. Now they discover that the queen is obese and is showing signs of baldness.

The identification of Hatshepsut is very important because it is the first royal mummy identity identified after the young King Tutankhamen was found and identified in 1922. The identification work was done through scientific science. forward, in which a cut of a tooth in a box called Hatshepsut completely coincides with a cavity in the mummy's jaw. The royal lineage was also demonstrated through DNA analysis of mummies.

She is a 50-year-old fat lady , based on her power to eat pleasantly. Archaeologists also claim she may have diabetes, like many obese women today.

Hatshepsut also suffers from a disease that women over the age of 40 have - it's a form of obsession. She was bald in front of her head but let her hair grow long afterwards. She also painted glossy red and black nails.

But despite the monstrous form, she was still a powerful and successful woman. She married one of her half-brothers Thutmose II and helped her husband rule Egypt. When her husband died, Hatshepsut was promoted to regent but quickly took the throne from his stepchild.

To emphasize his position, Hatshepsut often wears royal costumes, including fake beards. She reigned for 22 years, longer than any female pharaoh before and after and left a series of impressive works and sculptures, including her Djeser-Djeseru tomb, a masterpiece of architecture.

But like other powerful women, Hatshepsut was hated by many. Her husband's successor and son - Thutmose III - sought to erase her image in the mind of the Egyptians by breaking her name and symbolism on every artifact. The king also transferred her body to a poor grave and let her die there with only one nanny accompanying her.

But Hatshepsut's image will not be faded away because, despite being obese, growing beard and shiny nails, she is still a great leader.
