why hatshepsut is.

this woman took charge. she ruled as a king, took the leadership herself, against public uprising. so many people hated her, stood in her way, tried to stop her from doing the things she thought egypt needed, and from her goals. regardless of these people constantly trying to bring her down, she did wonders for the country and society, keeping her head high through not only political but also personal strife. she accomplished precisely what she set out to accomplish, regardless of the infinite roadblocks along the way. after her assassination, the following leaders tried to erase her from history by destroying any instances of her picture, name, presence, statues, temples, everything. by doing so, they prevented her from entering the afterlife. yet, regardless of this destruction, her legacy, accomplishments, and story lived on, millenia after her death.

that's why.
