介绍（中）	在1926-1927年的挖掘季节，博物馆的埃及探险队在底比斯西部Deir el-Bahri的哈特谢普苏特葬礼寺庙的东围墙上发现了三个基础沉积物。内容包括299个圣甲虫和邮票印章。其中六十五件现在在开罗的埃及博物馆，其余的则由博物馆在发现部门获得。在这些圣甲虫和印章的铭文中，有哈特谢普苏特拥有的每一个头衔的例子，从她在父亲图特摩斯一世统治期间是"国王的女儿"; 到她成为她同父异母的兄弟图特摩斯二世的王后; 以及她摄政并与她的侄子/继子图特摩斯三世共同统治期间。这只圣甲虫底部的铭文记录了哈特谢普苏特的王座名称Maatkare，可以粗略地翻译为Maat（真理女神）是Re（太阳神）的生命力。蹲伏女神（ankh.s）前面的两个象形文字具有"她活着"的含义。博物馆中有四只圣甲虫有类似的铭文。其中两个（27.3.233和27.3.235）具有非常相似的铭文，背面和侧面设计也几乎相同。第三个（27.3.236）具有类似的背面设计，但象形文字雕刻得不太小心。此处显示的示例（27.3.234）具有不同的背面设计（请注意甲虫翼盒上的凹口），象形文字的分布略有不同。
介绍（英）	During the 1926-1927 excavation season, the Museum's Egyptian Expedition uncovered three foundation deposits along the eastern enclosure wall of Hatshepsut's funerary temple at Deir el-Bahri in Western Thebes. Among the contents were 299 scarabs and stamp-seals. Sixty-five of these are now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, and the rest were acquired by the Museum in the division of finds. Among the inscriptions on the bases of these scarabs and seals are examples of every title Hatshepsut held, from the time she was "king's daughter" during the reign of her father, Thutmose I; through the time she was queen of her half-brother, Thutmose II; and during her regency and co-reign with her nephew/step-son, Thutmose III. The inscription on the base of this scarab records Hatshepsut's throne name, Maatkare, which may be roughly translated as Maat (the goddess of truth) is the life force of Re (the sun god). The two hieroglyphs in front of the crouching goddess (ankh.s) have the meaning "she lives." There are four scarabs in the Museum that have similar inscriptions. Two of them (27.3.233 and 27.3.235) have very similar inscriptions, and the back and side design are also almost identical. A third (27.3.236) has a similar back design, but the hieroglyphs are carved with less care. The example shown here (27.3.234) has a different back design (note the notches on the beetle's wing cases), and the hieroglyphs have a slightly different distribution.
