A scene from Hatshepsut’s Hideaway

I recently visited Elephantine Island, located in the middle of the Nile at Aswan.  This is the site of ancient Egyptian ruins dating from the Old Kingdom onwards, with almost all the epochs of that ancient civilisation represented.

One of the best-preserved on the ancient ruins is the Temple of Satet, built in the early Eighteenth Dynasty under the female pharaoh Hatshepsut and her nephew/stepson and successor Thutmosis III.

It provides the location for a key scene in the third book in my Egyptian series, Hatshepsut’s Hideaway.

Here’s a short clip of me describing it …
