The ostracon that rewrites history
An ancient limestone ostracon holds the key to forgotten stories. This remarkable artifact not only reveals the identity of its mysterious red-inked warrior queen but also sheds light on the puzzling vanishing of Tutankhaten's beloved wife, Ankhesenpaaten, on the very day of his funeral.

Tutankhaten's Lost Wife, Ankhesenpaaten, Is Found.
By reevaluating the artifact’s symbolism and context, this research reveals how gender bias and disciplinary blind spots have obscured, altered, or ignored the female presence, role, and power in pharaonic historiography. Ostracon #90 highlights these gendered presumptions and corrects these distortions by restoring a historical Egyptian female pharaoh to the ancient record and narrative. A picture paints a thousand words. Everything is not as it seems. Female gods, kings, and warriors were not mythical -- they lived, ruled, and died.
