Where is Hatshepsut tomb?

There are a number of unidentified high-status mummies of the New Kingdom, mostly found in what we call the Royal Mummy Caches. These are a series of secret tombs in the Valley of the Kings, in which agents of the High Priests of Amun, who controlled the Theban area during the 21st and 22nd Dynasties, hid the bodies of many of the kings and queens of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasties. Her mummy was not at her tomb. The mummy was found long ago but it was unidentified until 2014. They found a tooth in the organ jars and it was a match. Her mummy was found at last. Her mummy was found under the instruction of Dr. Hawass.

Why was Kush considered a satellite of Egypt?

Kush was not always a satellite of Egypt, but there were periods when Kushitic culture was strongly bent towards Egypt and when the kingdom paid regular tribute to the Egyptians. At those times in history, it would be proper to call Kush a satellite of Egypt. However, Kush eventually rose up and conquered Egypt, so the relationship ebbed and flowed.
