jan 1, 1479 BC - Hatshepsut Obelisks Inscriptions
Description:
“Now my heart turns this way and that, as I think what thepeople will say—those who shall see my monuments in
years to come, and who shall speak of what I have done.”
Karnak
1479 BCE
Hatshepsut used her obelisks as a form of propaganda, but also to gain insight. She wasn't trying to pass herself off as a man. She calls herself the female Horus—female falcon—meaning she's the king, but she's female.
