Hatshepsut, the most successful of several female rulers of ancient Egypt, declared herself king sometime between years 2 and 7 in the reign of her stepson and nephew, Thutmose III. She adopted the full titulary of a pharaoh, including the throne name Maatkare, which is the name most frequently found on her monuments. Her throne name and her personal name, Hatshepsut, are both written inside oval cartouches making them easy to recognize. [X]

Photo by @edvardpubols I imagine it being a battle cry. They number less than 5000 individuals across Africa, making this very capable carnivore one of the most at risk of extinction on the continent. Classified as Endangered by the IUCN, their main threats are persecution through human-wildlife conflict, habitat destruction in the wake of human expansion and their fragmented populations being vulnerable to being struck by disease outbreaks.
