While most art history podcasts focus on the traditional \"fine art\" we see in museums around the world, Who ARTed celebrates art in all of its forms and in terms anyone can understand. Each episode tells the story of a different artist and artwork including the traditional big names like Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol along with lesser-known artists working in such diverse media as video game design, dance, the culinary arts, and more. Who Arted is written and produced by an art teacher with the goal of creating a classroom resource that makes art history fun and accessible to everyone. Whether you are cramming for your AP Art History exam, trying to learn a few facts so you can sound smart at fashionable dinner parties, or just looking to hear something with a more positive tone, we’ve got you covered with episodes every Monday and Friday.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-27T14:21:36.544760+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/who-arted-weekly-art-history-for-all-ages-506807"},"episode":{"title":"TLDR Hatshepsut's Mortuary Temple","slug":"tldr-hatshepsut-s-mortuary-temple","published_at":"2026-06-22T07:10:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/who-arted-weekly-art-history-for-all-ages-506807/tldr-hatshepsut-s-mortuary-temple","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/who-arted-weekly-art-history-for-all-ages-506807","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/mgln.ai/e/211/tracking.swap.fm/track/YfZO4tERxneauNcW9Fgn/traffic.megaphone.fm/ARML7544395680.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/mgln.ai/e/211/tracking.swap.fm/track/YfZO4tERxneauNcW9Fgn/traffic.megaphone.fm/ARML7544395680.mp3","summary":"Queen Hatshepsut reigned as the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty during Egypt’s New Kingdom period. Initially occupying the traditional role of queen consort to her half-brother Thutmose II, she assumed the regency for her infant stepson, Thutmose III, following her husband's death around 1479 BCE. By the seventh year of her regency, she broke with Egyptian tradition by officially crowning herself pharaoh and establishing a co-regency that lasted for two decades. To legitimize her authority within a political theology historically tied to male deities and the preservation of cosmic order (ma'at), Hatshepsut utilized art as a powerful tool of political propaganda. She commissioned hundreds of statues depicting her with masculine physical traits including a muscular torso, traditional royal kilt, and ceremonial false beard, while intentionally maintaining feminine titles, pronouns, and grammatical endings in accompanying written inscriptions. Her reign prioritized domestic stability, international trade revitalization, and an extensive monumental building campaign over military expansion. The crowning achievement of her building campaign is her mortuary temple, Djeser-Djeseru (\"Holy of Holies\"), located on the west bank of the Nile River across from the ancient religious capital of Thebes.
