Very interesting, Caren. I'm not up on my Egyptian history, so I'll take your word for it. I always thought it strange that she is portrayed with a beard. Do you know why? Guess I need to Google her.

Because Pharaohs were supposed to be men, so she wore a fake beard, so she could get full support from the commoners.
