Firstly, I have always had the fascination towards Ancient Egyptian culture ever since I was young. I love the aesthetics of the way people presented themselves, the artwork created during this time, the hieroglyphics and their beliefs in the Gods.  I am also very passionate about the roles we women have in society and the power dynamic between the two genders.
This is why I wanted to gain more insight into the past where Women around the world were merely treated as people, more of objects to be traded or prizes to be won by men. I wanted to research the unique and powerful woman icons in Ancient Egypt that may have changed history as well as the way people viewed woman kind.
