He did that after her death. The queen died in early February of 1458 B.C. In recent years, scientists have speculated the cause of her death to be related to an ointment or salve used to alleviate a chronic genetic skin condition. Thutmose III began a campaign to eradicate Hatshepsut's memory: He destroyed or defaced her monuments, erased many of her inscriptions and constructed a wall around her obelisks. While some believe this was the result of a long-held grudge, it was more likely a strictly political effort to emphasize his line of succession and ensure that no one challenged his son Amunhotep II for the throne.

He destroyed or defaced her writing and paintings in almost of the wall in her monuments. Speaking about religion, there was a time when that became an issue. Historians say that her paintings were carved out because of religion problems. Maybe it was something she learned from Moises the Hebrew that she saves from the river.

Why did rames the third try to destroy all records of hatshepsut's?

Ramses the third didn't try to destroy all records of Hatshepsut, Thutmose the third tried too! Thutmose 3 was too young for the throne so Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for 6 years. When Thutmose 3 was old enough, Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh. Then, Thutmose 3 decided to try and destroy her records. But, thank goodness he didn't destroy them!

What kind of wars did Queen Hatshepsut win?

She was not in battle in the 20 of reign. She was a notable builder. As a ruler, Hatshepsut inaugurated building projects that far outstripped those of her predecessors. In Egypt proper, she launched a number of building projects. At the temple complex of Karnak, she erected a series of obelisks and built a "Palace of Ma'at," a rectangular structure that was composed of "a series of small rooms with a large central hall for the placement of the central bark [a small ceremonial boat]. The walls of the palace were covered with carved and brightly painted relief scenes of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III.

How were thutmose 3 and hatshepsut the same?

After the death of her father at age 12, Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose II, whose mother was a lesser wife, a common practice meant to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline. During the reign of Thutmose II, Hatshepsut assumed the traditional role of queen and principal wife. After tutmoses 11 died, tutmoses 111 was too young to rule. She put on the fake beard and ruled as a man and she was good at that. Since Thutmose III was too young to assume the throne unaided, Hatshepsut served as his regent. Initially, Hatshepsut bore this role traditionally until, for reasons that are unclear, she claimed the role of pharaoh. Technically, Hatshepsut did not 'usurp' the crown, as Thutmose the III was never deposed and was considered co-ruler throughout her life, but it is clear that Hatshepsut was the principal ruler in power. He was her nephew.
