The NYPL Digital Gallery is a fantastic online photographic archive. I spent hours just looking at their Karnak archive last night and only viewed approximately a quarter of their archive. Either as an excellent study resource or just an amazing gallery of old depictions of Egypt i recommend a visit.
The link is to their Deir el Bahri collection, but feel free to browse their archive for your own interests.

Hatshepsut- In her Words
I have been reading Joyce Tyldesley's "Hatchepsut the female Pharaoh".
On page 210 is a message from Hatshepsut, which i think is very much related to the Hatshepsut Project, and anyone else with an interest in Hatshepsut. Here it is:
(Extract from the obelisk Inscription of King Hatshepsut, translated by S.R. Snape)
Well, Pharaoh Hatshepsut, I couldn't speak highly enough of your achievements. And i am not alone..

Stuart
