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. Thutmose II died after a 15 year reign, making Hatshepsut a widow before the age of 30. Hatshepsut had no sons, only a daughter, Neferure and the male heir was an infant, born to a concubine named Isis.
The first documented real zoo that was open to the public was established in Egypt - by Queen Hatshepsut in 1500 BC. Queen Hatshepsut acquired baboons when she had myrrh saplings brought to Egypt from the Horn of Africa, which, presumably, would have been kept somewhere, but no records exist. Among the animals imported from Punt were rhinos, giraffes, leopards, monkeys and more familiar species like cattle and hounds.
How did Queen Hatshepsut dress?Hatshepsut wore men's clothing and a fake beard while she was pharaoh. She usually wore the crown of nemes it is more like a head dresss and it is believedto be striped, yellow and blue. A peice of striped cloth was pulled tight around the forehead, tied into a kind of tail at the back while two strands hung down each side of the face.
Hatshepsut ruled in the New Kingdom, 18th dynasty. Her reign was between 1473BC- 1458 BC. She was not the first female ruler of Ancient Egypt. And I would like to point out that she was not a queen, she was a pharaoh.
She was a consolidator, not an adventurer like her kid brother, Thutmosis III. During her reign, Egypt didn't interfere too much with its neighbors.
Queen Hatshepsut sought to be treated like a man to legitimize her rule in a male-dominated society. By adopting male regalia, titles, and even portraying herself as a pharaoh, she aimed to strengthen her authority and secure her position in a time when female rulers faced skepticism. This approach helped her establish a stable reign and gain respect as a powerful leader in ancient Egypt.

In 2000 BCE, the most notable queen of Egypt was Hatshepsut, who reigned during the 18th Dynasty. However, she was not the only queen during that period, as there were other notable figures like Ahmose-Nefertari. Hatshepsut is particularly famous for her successful reign, ambitious building projects, and her portrayal as a male pharaoh in art and inscriptions.
