I think the title would be non gender-specific. I suppose if you were a particular crony of his/hers, you could just use "Ethel" or "Bob" in greeting ...respectfully of course...for example, "Well, if it isn't Ethel (thou of the Sedge and Bee, etc. etc.)..."

:wink:

uhm....I don't really think so...the title of Queen does not exit...we'd better say "woman Pharaoh"....(it's that grecian word "pharaoh" that hurts me so much!!!)...She's been representing herself as a male few times and her titles as regnant, too. But then, again as "nsw-t".... :roll:

I wish to add one more thing to Claude...
There is no "Lex Salica" in Ancient Egypt, so the title of King was not "passed" from father to son....and Hatshepsut was grown by her father to be the Regent...Tothmes I had clear ideas about her daughter!...

OK but was it not common to take some titels from the former king
and add a few of your own corrrect me if i am wrong on this one to :wink:

And i read somewher that she did take all of her fathers titels
when she was crowned "King of upper and lower Egypt" but she seems to
be your favorit so you can probably tell what really is right.
