Hatshepsut prepares for immortality
era: foundations
elements: orange peel • palm leaf • resin • salt • lichen
feel: citrus, salt & eternal life
intensity: strong
The sixth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty is prepared for the afterlife with an aromatic mix of preservatives to keep her body intact and her name alive forever. But her stepson Thutmose III has other plans, and he effectively erases her from history for more than 3,000 years. To learn more about Hatshepsut's successful, and singular, reign as one of the very few female pharaohs, see The Met's exhibition catalogue Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh.
