Is Hatshepsut a goddess

Answer 1

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. God does not die

Answer 2

Hatshepsut lived from about 1508 to 1458 BCE and was a female pharaoh, from about 1479 BCE until her death. Moses is regarded by scholars as a legendary figure, because they say the most important event in his life, the biblical Exodus from Egypt, never really occurred.

If we accept the biblical account, the Exodus began approximately 1440 BCE, when Moses was already 80 years old. Therefore Moses was born 1520 BCE, long before Hatshepsut was born.

We therefore have two different answers to this, both saying that Hatshepsut was not the stepmother of Moses. In the first case, although Hatshepsut was a historical person, Moses was not and therefore Hatshepsut was not his stepmother. In the second case, The Bible says that Moses was born before Hatshepsut and therefore she could not have been his stepmother.

There are some further, secondary complications. Because we now know that the Israelites did not settle in the Canaanite hinterland until shortly before 1200 BCE, some liberal Christians date the Exodus to this time, in spite of the Bible. This would mean that Moses was born long after the death of Hatshepsut, who once again could not have been his stepmother. Some modern Jewish traditions take a middle postion, placing the Exodus in the middle of the fourteenth century, after the time of the Amarna letters but long before archaeologists say theIsraelites began to settle in the Canaanite hinterland. This would place the birth of Moses during the reign of Hatshepsut, as pharaoh, whereas the Bible describes her as the daughter of the pharaoh.

Even on a legendary basis, there is no possibility of describing Hatshepsut as the princess who saved Moses and became his stepmother.
