Nat'l Geo: Who Was the Most Powerful Woman in Ancient History?

Nah. I'd put my money on Hatshepsut. I mean, her 'Temple of a Thousand Years' still influences architecture today [predated the Parthenon - I mean, look at it]. She ruled long, brought great wealth into Egypt. Cleopatra was ruling over a dying Egypt. Hatshepsut was expanding its power. Thought this link appropriate for International Women's Day. Via Dr Menlo.
