The recent excavations near Memphis have uncovered a large obelisk
preliminarily dated to the era of the twelfth Egyptian dynasty.
Careful reconstruction of the damaged sections and translation of
the heiroglyphic script revealed an important side of Egyptian life
which has not before been seen.  Here is a summarized translation of
the first 12 panels.

FROM:MRS. T HATSHEPSHUT

DEAR FRIEND, 
I AM MRS. HATSHEPSHUT WIDOW OF LATE PHAROAH THUTMOSE OF
ALL EGYPT NOW KNOWN AS SENMUT'S EGYPTIAN KINGDOM.
I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER, THIS WAS IN 
CONFIDENCE CONSIDERING MY PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION. 

I ESCAPED ALONG WITH OUR SON THUTMOSE II OUT OF LOWER EGYPT 
AFTER DEATH OF MY HUSBAND FROM GOD DISEASE. HOWEVER 
DUE TO THIS SITUATION WE DECIDED TO CHANGED  MOST OF MY 
HUSBAND'S BILLIONS OF SLAVES AND PIECES OF GOLD INTO CONVENIENT
PYRAMIDS FOR STORAGE BECAUSE THE NEW HEAD OF STATE HAD MADE
ATTEMPTS FOR CONFISCATION OF ASSETS.  THEREFORE MY CHILD AND I
I DECIDED LAYING LOW IN AFRICA TO STUDY THE SITUATION TILL  
WHEN THINGS GETS BETTER, LIKE NOW THAT SEMNUT IS DEAD.  ONE OF
MY LATE HUSBAND'S TEMPLES WAS CONFISCATED BY THE NEW GOVERNMENT
AND AS SUCH I HAD TO CHANGE MY IDENTITY  SO THAT MY INVESTMENT 
WILL NOT BE TRACED AND CONFISCATED. I HAVE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF 
THIRTY MLLION GOLD PIECES IN THIS PYRAMID FOR SAFEKEEPING.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THAT YOU WILL 
ASSIST US BY RECEIVING THE GOLD ON OUR BEHALF.ACKNOWLEDGE THIS 
MESSAGE, SO THAT I CAN INTRODUCE YOU TO MY SON THUTMOSE II WHO 
HAS THE OUT MODALITIES FOR THE CLAIM OF THE SAID FUNDS. I WANT 
YOU TO ASSIST IN INVESTING THIS MONEY, BUT I WILL NOT WANT MY 
IDENTITY REVEALED. I WILL ALSO WANT TO BUY PROPERTIES IN OUTER
LANDS SUCH AS GREECE AND BABYLONIA AND TO ENGAGE IN OTHER SAFE AND 
NON-SPECULATIVE INVESTMENTS. MAY I AT THIS POINT EMPHASISE THE 
HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIALITY, WHICH THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS, AND 
HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY THE TRUST AND CONFIDENCE, WHICH I REPOSE 
IN YOU.

FOR THIS REASON KINDLY FURNISH US YOUR CONTACT 
INFORMATION, THAT IS YOUR PERSONAL ADDRESS AND
ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS TABLET.
BEST REGARDS, 

MRS HATSHEPSHUT
