Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the myth of my birth, what Egyptian object was placed to the nose of my mother, Ahmose, by a god in the form of my father, ultimately in the attempt to conceive me?

Answer: Ankh

Apparently this myth not only included the god Amun, but Khnum and Heket were in on the funny business as well. Respectively, Khnum was the god of the source of the Nile River, thought to be the creator of children while Heket, who had a frog's head, was the god of life and fertility.

2. Almost every ancient Egyptian name under the sun has a meaning. So, what does mine mean?

Answer: Foremost of Noble Ladies

Not all, but a couple of these are titles that belonged to Nefertiti.

3. During my rise to power, Queen Tetisheri, who was the wife of Pharaoh Sanakhtenre Tao I, bequeathed upon me what respected title?

Answer: God's wife of Amun

I was interested to learn this. I'd previously never known about this title.

4. My father, my half-brother (also my husband), and my step-son, whom I shared a co-regency with, shared which name subsequently followed by I,II, and III?

Answer: Thutmose

I'm always disturbed by the incest that went on back then, just to preserve the bloodline. Nevertheless, it's still fascinating.

Answer: salt

Punt was the equivalent of El Dorado or Atlantis in more recent times. It was filled with many exotic goods that the Egyptians desired very much. Its location is best placed in modern Somalia. Frankincense was also among these valuables brought back to Egypt.

Answer: A false beard

Kara Cooney, an Egyptologist seen in a 2007 Discovery Channel documentary, "Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen" surmised that not only did Hatshepsut wear a false beard and male clothing, but that she may also have gone without a top, exposing her breasts.

Answer: Senenmut

It would sound like a terribly romantic story if their intimate relationship really existed.

Answer: Neferure

Later in life, Neferure served in high office and in the religious administration in ancient Egypt. She was also given the title "God's Wife of Amun", among others.

9. Djeser-Djeseru is the mortuary temple I constructed during my reign, in which those I ruled over may worship me. On what massive monastery is it built?

Answer: Deir el-Bahari

On the return journey from Punt, Hatshepsut brought back many myrrh trees to place inside her temple. Thutmose I, Thutmose II, and Thutmose III also had their bodies placed in the tombs of Deir el-Bahari.

Answer: tooth

Apparently it was a molar that matched with the "strong mummy" that Zahi Hawass uncovered in KV60, who was, incidentally, missing a molar and part of the root.
