Who built more Tutankhamen or Ramses the Great or Hatshepsut?

Answer 1

Hatsheput was a good pharaoh because she increased trade highly and Egypt became healthy!

Answer 2

Answer

This type of question is usually spurious and any answer is highly speculative and just an opinion. Even bad monarchs sometimes deliver better outcomes to their subjects.

Answer

However, in the interests of helping people to understand history, it is sometimes possible to make such judgements. For example, Sellar and Yeatman in their 1066 and All That, say that "King Charles I was a good man but a bad king while his son Charles II was a bad man but a good king". The former was a fine upstanding family man, the latter rather promiscuous. The former drove people to political extremes, the latter skillfully guided the United Kingdom into a more balanced constitutional environment.

In respect to the above named Egyptian monarchs, we can say that as the Queen Sheba who visited Solomon in circa 950 BC, we have a character who stood head and shoulders above Ramesses II who considered himself one of the great kings of Egypt.

Hatshepsut, which means "The Sign of the Sheba of the South", built a temple that copied the building Solomon constructed in Jerusalem. We can tell this because Hatshepsut's temple evokes the words of the Song of Solomon 2:14; "Oh my dove, thou art in the clefts of the rock; in the secret places of the stairs'. It is only the shaky chronology of the Egyptologists that insists Hatshepsut lived in circa 1450 BC. She is the only queen who really ruled Africa and that is the meaning of the word "Ophir" in the Biblical account that refers to the so-called "Queen of Sheba". Actually, The Bible's queen "sheba'd" in Ophir-Africa. Only Hatshepsut could claim to have done that.

By the same chronology, Ramesses II is the pharaoh Necho who killed King Josiah of Judah in circa 610 BC. Egypt collapsed not long after Ramesses II's death. On the basis of this information, one could say, "Yes, Hatshepsut was better than Ramesses".

Answer 3

If you mean Nefure, Nefure is Hashepsut's daughter.

Answer

Both women are well known ancient Egyptian queens. Hatshepsut was a regnal queen, that is she ruled as queen. Nefertiti was Akhenaten's wife and queen consort. Nefertiti was not Egyptian. She was a Mede from Northern Persia. However, in the art that survived from Akhenaten's time, we see his mother appearing to have greater status. Immanuel Velikovsky even suspected Akhenaten divorced or relegated Nefertiti and married his mother. This event led to the Oedipus legend of the Greeks. There now seems to be substantial support for Velikovsky's claim because he also believed Queen Hatshepsut was the famous queen who visited Solomon.

The intriguing thing about the name Hatshepsut is that it reads "The Sign of the Sheba of the South". In Hebrew, when one 'sheba'd', one sat and administered. King David (1000 BC) had an administrator named "Yo-Sheba-dech". King Hezekiah (700 BC) had an administrator named Shebna. William Flinders Petrie translated the Egyptian "Ra Shepses" as the "Keeper of records". This was an office Ramesses II created. Thus Hatshepsut was the ruler or administrator of the "South" which is an old name for Egypt and the Sudan. Actually, the "Sudan" is the "Suten" or Sut (English 'South', French 'Sud' and Germanis 'Sudeten'). Josephus Flavius said the queen who visited Solomon was "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia". He was undoubtedly correct in saying this even though the modern scholars edit his work to say she was really the Queen of Yemen. The fact that no archaeological evidence for civilisation that could construct temples etc existed in Yemen until about 700 BC, when Solomon lived in 950 BC, is conveniently overlooked.

Since Jesus referred to "The Queen of the South", when He castigated the Jewish leaders and said she would rise up at the resurrection and condemn them, one would have to say that Hatshepsut was better than Nefertiti because Jesus never mentioned the latter.

Answer 4

Hatshepsut meaning Foremost of Noble Ladies; was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. Under Hatshepsut's reign, Egypt prospered. Unlike other rulers in her dynasty, she was more interested in ensuring economic prosperity and building and restoring monuments throughout Egypt and Nubia than in conquering new lands. She built the temple Djeser-djeseru ("holiest of holy places"), which was dedicated to Amon and served as her funerary cult, and erected a pair of red granite obelisks at the Temple of Amon at Karnak, one of which still stands today. Hatshepsut also had one notable trading expedition to the land of Punt in the ninth year of her reign. The ships returned with gold, ivory and myrrh trees, and the scene was immortalized on the walls of the temple.

Answer 5

As a ruler, Hatshepsut inaugurated building projects that far outstripped those of her predecessors. In Egypt proper, she launched a number of building projects. At the temple complex of Karnak, she erected a series of obelisks and built a "Palace of Ma'at," a rectangular structure that was composed of "a series of small rooms with a large central hall for the placement of the central bark [a small ceremonial boat]. The walls of the palace were covered with carved and brightly painted relief scenes of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III

Answer 6

My opinion... Hatshepsut

Answer 7

Ramses II
