The accepted period of her reign is between 1806 and 1802 BC (less than 4 years).

Other sources suggest:

She became queen in 1741 BC (altered by Ramses papyrus canon in 1290 BC to 1789 BC, shifting the whole dynasty 48 years) and she ruled for 4 years until she freed Joseph. Celebrating the Pharaoh's birthday in 1738 BC when she dreamed of 7 fat cows and 7 starved cows honors 30 years of either age or rule. Joseph was age 30 (1767-1737 BC) when she freed him after 2 years in prison (since 1739 BC) to become ruler.

Was hatshepsut the last pharaoh of Egypt?

She was the first king pharaoh because she was strong. She also put is use the trade route and became the constructor of the 18th dynasty. 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.
