Hatshepsut - The British Museum

I consider myself lucky living in England and having so many different places to visit and see genuine ancient Egyptian Artifacts. One of those places is the British Museum, London.

When searching their website for Hatshepsut i was not disappointed in the slightest. I will not spoil things (much), although i will draw your attention to the Obelisk and the history of its "discovery".

This obelisk is not from Karnak. I think i have covered them, for now at least.

It's stories like this which making tracking Egyptian artifacts a bit of a nightmare to say the least. they do not stand still- that's for sure. It takes none of the fun away though i might add..

Here's the link to the British Museum's Hatshepsut- related items.

Regards,
Stuart
