You Obama supporters are sooo funny. "That we have to compromise and sacrifice for one another in order to get things done. That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation." MICHELLE OBAMA "It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master." AYN RAND

Don't forget famed female Egyptian Pharaoh "Queen Hatshepsut" whom most egyptologist consider one of the most successful and longest reigning pharaohs of that empire in the middle dynasty ... successful statesman in trade & building , strategist in war & establishing one of the lonest periods of peace & prosperity , a most highly regarded pharoah that elevated her civilization back up to classical heights once more . en.wikipedia.org (know this , for one very fine lady who's in my life named her salvaged female german shepard after this Queen Regent Hotshepsut...we call her "Zootsie" for short ! ) Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut In comparison with other female pharaohs, Hatshepsut's reign was much longer and prosperous. She was successful in warfare early in her reign, but generally is considered to be a pharaoh who inaugurated a long peaceful era. She re-established trading relationships lost during a foreign occupation and brought great wealth to Egypt. That wealth enabled Hatshepsut to initiate building projects that raised the calibre of Ancient Egyptian architecture to a standard, comparable to *classical architecture, that would not be rivaled by any other culture for a thousand years.*** She oversaw the preparations and funding for a mission to the Land of Punt. The expedition set out in her name with five ships, each measuring 70 feet (21 m) long bearing several sails and accommodating 210 men that included sailors and 30 rowers. Many trade goods were bought in Punt, notably myrrh. Most notably, however, the Egyptians returned from the voyage bearing thirty-one live myrrh trees, the roots of which were carefully kept in baskets for the duration of the voyage. This was the first recorded attempt to transplant foreign trees. It is reported that Hatshepsut had these trees planted in the courts of her Deir el Bahri mortuary temple complex. Egyptians also returned with living Puntites (people of Punt). This trading expedition to Punt was roughly during Hatshepsut's nineteenth year of reign. (meaning: Foremost of Noble Ladies)
