Being a regent helped Hatshepsut become a pharaoh because, it showed she was a good ruler.
Her time or reign was 1508-1458 BC. She was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. Seven years before she become regent.
More accurately Queen Hatshepsut. She was an ancient Egyptian Queen. She ruled from 1505 to 1484BC. She reigned as her son's regent and she wore male attire and the paraoh's false beard (you can see this on her statue in the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahri). She made important trading expeditions towards the Kingdom of Punt.
At around 1500 B.C a child named Thutmose III became pharaoh. Because of his youth his step mother was appointed his regent. (hatshepsut)
Hatshepsut (haht shep soot) (say carefully, it can be a bad word if said wrong)
Queen Hatshepsut gained power as co-regent with her stepson Thutmose III in around 1478 BCE. After her husband and Thutmose III's father, Thutmose II, died, Hatshepsut assumed the role of regent until Thutmose III reached adulthood. She eventually declared herself pharaoh, breaking with tradition, and ruled Egypt for more than 20 years.
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.
