Totally erased from history until 1903, ______________________ was the victim of a massive operation by her step-son, who had her name and image erased from every part of Egypt. (2 points) Responses Ramesses II Ramesses II Akhenaten Akhenaten Amarna Amarna Hatshepsut
The correct answer is Hatshepsut. Also known as the "Dazzling of Aten," Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. After her death, her stepson and successor, Thutmose III, tried to erase her memory and eliminate any mention of her reign. He ordered the defacement and destruction of her statues, temples, and inscriptions throughout Egypt. This led to Hatshepsut's name and image being temporarily erased from history until her rediscovery in the 19th century.
