The 101 - Hat'z BabyDaddy!

According to Wikipedia, Senenmut was an architect and government official in 18th century Egypt who claimed to be the chief architect of Deir el Bahri, Hatshepsut's mortuary temple.

Strictly business?

Also according to Wikipedia, some Egyptologists believe that Hatshepsut and Senenmut were lovers. Two pieces of evidence that they use to support this are that:

1) Hatshepsut let him carve his name and likeness behind one of the doors at Djeseru-Djeseru (not sure where that is ...)

2) Some graffiti in an unfinished tomb, supposedly a rest house for workers, depicting a man and hermaphrodite pharaoh having 'intimate relations'.

Apart from these two, Wikipedia says that Hatshepsut seemed to have favoured the construction of Senenmut's tomb.

Was Senenmut a spunk?

Patricia O'Neill is a historical fiction writer who seems to have expended an inordinate amount of time pondering this very question.

In other news ...

These are statues of Neferure, Hatshepsut's daughter, with Senenmut, who was her tutor. Of the twenty or more so statues found of Senenmut, eight of them show Senenmut and Neferure together ... I'm not really sure why.
