Queen Hatshepsut - the adoptive mother of Moses

Hatshepsut was the daughter of the Pharaoh Tuthmosis I and Queen Ahmose.

 

Hatshepsut was married to her own half-brother, Tuthmosis II, with whom she reigned for some 14 years. Realizing his sister-wife's ambitious nature, Tuthmosis II declared his son by the harem girl Isis to be his heir, but when the young Tuthmosis III came to the throne, Hatshepsut became regent and promptly usurped his position as ruler.

 

For some reason, after the the death of Hetshepsut, all of her images were defaced & her name was removed from almost every monument in Egypt. Now Egyptologists have speculated as to why this was, some say it was because she was a woman who reigned as a male pharaoh but there were other women who reigned as pharaohs & their images were not defaced. This list includes the great female pharaoh Cleopatra. So why was there an attempt to remove all trace of Hatshepsut from Egyptian memory? Could it have been because she had been the Daughter of Pharaoh who delivered Moses out of the Nile?

Before the Hittite Kingdom was rediscovered, it's non-existence was often used by anti-biblical "scholars" as proof that the Bible was historically inaccurate. This all changed in the 1880's when the vast kingdom of the Hittites was rediscovered & the Bible was yet again proven true by archeology.
