There was a female pharaoh of Egypt who ruled as a man - Apparently.
Hatshepsut was one of the most successful pharaohs of all time, ruling Egypt during the 15th century BC. She adopted male clothing and regalia to assert her authority, taking on a masculine persona. Her reign is notable for its prosperity, trade, and military campaigns, including the establishment of trade routes with the kingdom of Punt. Despite her impressive achievements, her legacy was largely erased by her stepson Thutmose III, who attempted to remove her name from Egyptian records.
