Hatshepsut was officially acknowledged as the female pharaoh for almost 20 years although conforming to Egyptian ideology of rulership she was often represented in art as a man. For an as yet unknown reason, a few decades after Hatshepsut’s death and official condemnation, the statures making up the temple’s rich collection were systematically removed and hacked to pieces. In the 1920s and 1930s, thousands of fragments were uncovered during excavations carried out by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian Expedition. A number of the statures reconstructed from those fragments are included in this exhibition. Other objects in the exhibition came from major collections of Egyptian art from around the world.
