Relief of Hatshepsut with Thutmose III
“Hatshepsut always took first position in her unorthodox coregency, even though she came to the throne second. Here, the female king and her coregent Thutmose III are in festival procession with the sacred barque of Amun. They are depicted as absolute equals—twins—communicating that both monarchs had the same access to the sacred spirit of kingship.”
— The Woman Who Would Be King, by Kara Cooney
