Pity the priest or whoever who had to tell Hatshepsut her brother husband's tomb was flooded. She must have been annoyed to say the least. Hat wrote Thutmose out of history later, in the interests of legitimacy, but she never had anything personal against him. She might even have been fond of him.

I suppose it would be incredibly pedantic to point out that the professor was Lord Renfrew NOT Lord Colin. I had no idea he had a title.

Exactly what I meant. Women can be powerful in a patrilineal system. Descent system and women's position do not correlate. It doesn't correlate to goddesses either.

You seem to be confusing the 22nd through 24th dynasties of the third intermediate period with the Ptolemies who came much later.
The Nubian pharaohs definitely considered themselves a 'native dynasty' whatever that may mean, and restorers of Maat. Culturally they were as Egyptian as any northerner.
