In case of Hatschepsut (Hechepsute, about 1470 b.C.) - no bards could sing her tales. Her step-son had nearly all cartouches erased = in Ancient Egyptian belief the best way to make a person non-existant (as if she had never been born). She was brain - Egytian pharao - not muscles: built Karnak, temples in Luxor and was known as
Ruler of Peace - death cause is unkown, rumours say: it was him, Thutmosis III., her step-son and the next pharao, causing her death.
