hatshepsut

BigSquib is a bit of an Ancient Egypt fanatic so the other night she was telling us about a female pharaoh, during dinner

BigSquib: She was called Hatshepsut-

MrSquib: Bless you!

Squib: hahaha good one!

BigSquib: [rolls eyes and continues} as I was saying the person who came after Hatshepsut-

MrSquib: Bless you!

Squib: hahahahahahahahaha [it’s even funnier the second time]

BigSquib: … AS I WAS SAYING, the person who came after her didn’t like her because she was a woman pharaoh and he didn’t believe women should be pharaohs-

Squib: Oh that is soooooo typical [glares at MrSquib]

BigSquib: So that’s why they’ve never been able to find her mummy because he went and chiselled her face off everything

Squib: Ah! So have they thought about looking for the sarcophagus with the chiselled-off face?

BigSquib: [barely containing her disdain for the poor intellectual company she is keeping] There have been wars and robbers and like half of everything they find is chiselled-off, Mum
