Before becoming a pharaoh, Hatshepsut served as the Great Royal Wife of her half-brother, Thutmose II, and later acted as regent for her stepson, Thutmose III, after her husband's death. She held significant administrative and religious responsibilities, overseeing temple construction and trade expeditions, particularly the famous expedition to Punt, which brought back valuable resources. Her experience in these roles helped her effectively govern when she eventually declared herself pharaoh.
