ReviewsPart of Compass Point's Signature Lives series of famous people from the Ancient World, this volume gives the reader insight into the life of this mysterious Egyptian. Because she was female, she was not supposed to ascend the throne but through a series of fortunate events, she did so, and became one of Egypt's powerful leaders. Her story is told using available information, maps, photos of Egyptian antiquities, and more. There is an index, a bibliography, web sites, historic sites, and a glossary. Nonfiction History/Biography., Until the mid 19th century, this powerful pharaoh was unknown, and still mysteries exist about how she became pharaoh. Included is a detailed timeline, list of resources, glossary, source notes and index., Though these books are primarily biographies, they also offer details about the history and daily life of Egypt's New Kingdom era. Hatshepsut is more focused on that ruler's life. It also discusses more topics concerning women, such as giving birth and the role of female royalty. The book expects some sophistication from its readers. Ramses, which is geared toward the younger end of the grade level and features simpler sentence structures, provides broad background on the history of the ancient civilization. Both texts are accompanied by high-quality photographs of artifacts, maps, and floor plans. Each book's detailed time line, comparing events in Egypt to those throughout the world, is helpful for placing the lives of the pharaohs in context. For readers with an interest in ancient Egypt or students seeking those hard-to-find 100-plus-page, age-appropriate biographies for assignments, these books are an excellent fit. They incorporate recent archaeological findings and provide excellent, updated supplements to the "Leaders of Ancient Egypt" series (Rosen, 2003)., With over 100 titles to date, this series for middle school readers presents biographies of the notable and the notorious from ancient times to the present. These recent entries present a man and a woman who not only impacted their ancient societies but also changed the world from that point on. Confucius: Chinese Philosopher and Teacher provides information about Confucius in a clear and straightforward manner. Born in China in 551 B.C.E., his teachers inspired his students. They in turn traveled throughout China and to nearby countries to preach his philosophy. Today people still study and follow the tenets of Confucianism. One of the most intriguing mysteries of the ancient world was that more than 3,500 years ago, a women rose to become the most powerful leader in Egypt. Students will learn about the conspiracy to erase the female pharaoh from history in Hapshepsut: Egypt's First Female Pharaoh. Key additional features of this series include a world events time line, a chronology of the subject's life, source notes, a selected bibliography, web sites, a glossary, and an index., Ancient Egypt has fascinated people for thousands of years. The fact that the Egyptian civilization flourished and waned before western civilizations even began has lent a sense of mystery to the civilization. Add to that the fact ancient Egypt left thousands of monuments but no written history that can be understood by living individuals, and the fascination is understandable. Numerous discoveries throughout history helped to make the Egyptian culture less mysterious, but the discovery of the tomb of a female pharaoh served to alter nearly everything that was thought about Egyptian civilization to that point. Speculation ran amok upon the discovery of Hatshepsut. Egyptologists of the day, upon discovering that many of her monuments had been destroyed, felt that she had wrested power from her stepson after her husband's death; recent archaeological evidence would seem to prove otherwise. Pamela Dell not only gives a stunning look into Hatshepsut's life and reign, but she also offers valuable insight into ancient Egyptian culture and traditions. This text is part of the "Signature Lives" series.

SynopsisA pharaoh who ruled Egypt more than 3,500 years ago is one of the most intriguing mysteries of the ancient world. Hatshepsut, the world's first and most powerful female pharaoh, was virtually unknown until the mid 19th century. Although there was a conspiracy to erase Hatshepsut from history, an amazing amount of factual details about her life have emerged. Depicted both as a man and a pharaoh in the hieroglyphs of her temple, she built monuments and sent out expeditions that would enrich Egypt's culture. But how did she manage to become pharaoh? Will her mysteries ever be solved?
