For the 13th dynasty princess, see Hatshepsut (king's daughter).

Hatshepsut^[a] (haht-SHEPP-sut; c. 1507–1458 BC) was the Great Royal Wife of PharaohThutmose II and the sixth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, ruling first as regent, then as queen regnant from c. 1479 BC until c. 1458 BC (Low Chronology).

Speos Artemidos

Place in Minya Governorate, Egypt

The Speos Artemidos (Ancient Greek: Σπέος Αρτέμιδος; Grotto of Artemis) is an archaeological site in Egypt. It is located about 2 km south of the Middle Kingdom tombs at Beni Hasan, and about 28 km south of Al Minya. Today, the site is a small village known as Istabl Antar.
