It was a shame that later her (nephew?) who became pharaoh ordered that her name and likeness be removed -chiseled off- Β from all her monuments, tried to erase memory of her.

I like this except for the false beard. It should be straight, only gods and male mummies are depicted with the curled false beard. I doubt she exposed her breasts but then again the ancient Egyptians don't let us know anything about the private lives of their rulers.

Actually she used the fake beard, that was the most astonishing thing about her, she used the things made for male rulers as if she was one of them. But main problem here is the skin color.
All these people were black people, and some maybe mixed, this has been proven, nothing racist just facts, you are doing a great work but you need to rethink that mate. Keep it up !

This is Amenhotep a direct descendant and member of family of Hatchepsut, they were all very dark black skinned.

Nicely done, though I somehow doubt she went topless, even if she was portrayed as a king...

Actually she most likely did. Ancient egyptians were nothing like our modern people. It was commonplace for women to be bare breasted, and often their very sheer linens were completely see through. It was fashion for the dresses (sheaths as they were often called) to leave the breasts bare but also were slit right up the front, so when the woman walked you would get glimpses of her nether parts also. They were not ashamed of their bodies and nudity was a way of life not a taboo.

There comes a point after which burkas are preferable.

Well, fashion and culture has changed drastically over the course of time. I just hope we will not be wearing silver spandex jumpsuits in the future!
