Research update

     My research topic is "what did Queen Hatshepsut achieve during her reign?" Queen Hatshepsut is an inspirational woman, who in my opinion, changed the Egyptian history. When I first began to research Queen Hatshepsut, I learned many interesting facts about her. Though, one fact that amazed me was how she dressed as a man- such as, she wore traditional clothing made for a pharaoh, she even had a beard glued to her face! Queen Hatshepsut dressed as a man because, during eightieth dynasty, only men were able to be pharaohs. Therefore, Queen Hatshepsut dressed as a man, so her subjects can take her reign seriously. Even though she had male characteristics, she still kept her feminine personality.
     The research for my topic has been going well so far. The difficult part for me was making those annotations for my six sources. I found it hard because I wrote a lot of information for each of the sources. Therefore, it took a long time for me to even finish one annotation. Now that I have completed it, I do not feel worried or overwhelmed at all.
