Hatshepsut was 12 when she married her half brother‚ Thutmose II. She got married because her father‚ Thutmose I‚ who was the Pharaoh of Egypt (circa. 1500 B.C.)‚ had died.

A Lost Meaning: From Book to Movie Most books that are reincarnated into movies do not typically portray the book as the reader has interpreted it. Whether it be plot twist‚ random addition of scenes or a whole new ending‚ a movie generally never completely follows the book it is based on.
