Thutmose

In my point of view, I feel that Hatshepsut made the right decision of crowning herself king. There were many reasons why I support this idea. One reason was because Hatshepsut husband Thutmose ||| had died and the person who was supposed to be king was Hatshepsut’s son who was a bit too young to be a king of a country. Also, since her son was too young Hatshepsut had made herself qualified and worthy of being the king of a country. In the text it said that since Hatshepsut’s husband had died too

daughter of Thutmose I and his queen Ahmes. At around the age of twelve years she was married to her step brother Thutmose II. Once her father past away, Thutmose II became king and Hatshepsut became queen, and further more also was granted the position and title of “God’s Wife of Amun the highest honor a woman could attain in Egypt after the position of queen and, actually , bestowing far more power

One of Hatshepsut's major achievements was expanding the trade routes of Ancient Egypt. Most notably was an expedition to the Land of Punt, which became a major trade partner supplying Egypt with gold, resin, wood, ivory, and wild animals. Scholars still debate the exact location of Ancient Punt, but many believe it to be roughly modern-day Somalia to Sudan. Due partially to these new trade networks, her reign was marked by wealth, prosperity, and peace. Hatshepsut sent five massive ships to open

Hatshepsut ruled for 20 years more than any other female leader of Egypt. She ruled Egypt after her Father Thutmose I and husband thutmose II passed away. She wanted to become a pharoah to be an equal counterpart and that she did. She dressed as a man, made her body look like a mans along with drawing on facial hair. She was now a pharaoh rather then a queen. After she died Thutmose III become ruler and destroyed all evidence of her in hopes of eliminating her memory. I think Hatshepsut is important

Hatshepsut was an amazing woman who had some incredible accomplishments. Rising to Power One of Hatshepsut’s greatest accomplishments was simply becoming pharaoh as a woman. Since her birth, Hatshepsut had always had some power. Her parents were Thutmose I and his main wife, Ahmose, so she was part of the royal family (Ross). Then, she was married to her half brother,

Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty she was the daughter of Thutmose I and Ahmose. Hatshepsut was known as the first female ruler of ancient Egypt. Hatshepsut was the first female to rule as a male, she ruled from 1479 to 1458 BCE. Hatshepsut became the queen of Egypt in the 18th dynasty when she married her half brother Thutmose II at 12 years old. After Thutmose II died Hatshepsut began acting as a ruler for Thutmose III which was her stepson (who was an infant). Hatshepsut ruled for her

prominent pharaohs is none of the above. Arguably one of the most underrated pharaohs in terms of their overall impact on Egypt is Hatshepsut. Born to King Thutmose I by the principal wife and queen, Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose II at age 12. After the death of her husband, her stepson and next in line to the throne, Thutmose III, was too young to take the throne, so Hatshepsut took over the reign of Egypt. Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh with full power over Egypt and was

Some ancient interpretations of Hatshepsut can also be perceived as negative, such as those of Seti I and Ramses II who deliberately excluded her from the King list under the presumption that he rule was a threat to order. Also, Thutmose III’s defacement of her monuments is thought to have been done in the act of re-establishing ma’at and order, as it was believed that a female ruler ultimately defied this natural balance and therefore male dominance had to be restored. Other

present. Hatshepsut’s own interpretation of herself are highly important to understand her motivation and ambitions. Not all views of Hatshepsut’s life can be seen in a positive light, as many modern historians have documented a power struggle with Thutmose the 3rd. This negative connotation can be demonstrated

back at this, are not shocked that she played both of these legitimacy strategies. Once again, according to Ludwig D. Morenz and Lutz Popko’s A Companion to Ancient Egypt Volume I, in Egypt only men could be kings. Between this and the fact that Thutmose was already the real king, Hatshepsut needed to prove herself worthy as much as possible, and with this came a radical image change- presenting herself as a man. This, as we will see, bleeds into the art of her at the time. Hatshepsut is not only
