Hatshepsut

black hair and brown eyes

Senenmut was, without doubt, the most important man in Hatshepsut's life. Twenty-five statues of Senenmut have so far been discovered, more than almost any other non-royal individual in the history of ancient Egypt. When Neferure was still a child, Hatshepsut's architect Senmut was her tutor. The actual nature of his relationship with Hatshepsut is unknown, but he was one of her strongest supporters, probably even one of her top advisers. During his career, he gained over 40 titles, including "chief architect." He disappeared some time before the end of Hatshepsut's reign, and it is unknown what actually happened to him. The architect Senmut designed the temple with rows of colonnades that reflect vertical patterns displayed by the cliff backdrop. In this way the temple is a successful example of architectural harmony between man and nature. A ramp connects the three levels of the temple, and on either side of the lower end of the incline were T-shaped papyrus pools. On the ground level the ramp was in antiquity lined with 200 sandstone statues of sphinxes with Hatshepsut's head. The third level is decorated with 22 life size statues featuring Hatshepsut in the Osirde shape. It was a matter of fashion.

She builds the Djeser-Djeseru. We know it as The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. It is located at Deir el-Bahri, The Obelisks of Hatshepsut and The Red Chapel. She lived in the Palace of Ma'at. It was rectangular structure. The capital was Thebes, Amarna, and then again Thebes. In terms of trade, Hatshepsut was not blind to the need of bolstering Egypt's economy' and indeed, the Punt expedition is but the climax of her consistent trading enterprises with Lebanon, Crete, Syria, West Africa, South Africa, Aswan and the reopening of mines in Mt. Sinai. She traded Ivory, gold, silver and other goods for eating. Hatshepsut's legacy is also extant in the enduring architectural innovations she incorporated into her building program. The design of Djeser-Djeseru is a prime example; although there exists a few doubtful precursors of the terraced template originality of the design cannot be gainsaid.' The thematic structure of the three terraces, from her role as pharaoh, to legitimization of her rule and achievements, to the worship of the deities is indisputably her own invention, as were the ramps linking them, imitating the glory of a sun's ray. Thutmose III modeled his mortuary temple on Hatshepsut's whilst Akhenaten incorporated the design of the ramps into his own buildings. Similarly, the design of Hatshepsut's tomb, with the three successive passageways leading to the burial chamber, her royal sarcophagus, her resting stations for Amun's barque were likewise replicated by her successors. Therefore, Hatshepsut's reign was characterized by a myriad of architectural innovations that became her legacy, to be admiringly integrated into the buildings of the future generations of pharaohs. Extreme prosperity and renaissance in art and building projects mark the beginning of this period. Towards the end of the 19th Dynasty the increasing power of the priesthood corrupts the central government. During the 20th Dynasty tomb robbing is done by officials. The priesthood becomes hereditary and begins to assume secular power. The government breaks down.

yes she did to Thutmose II

Hatshepsut was one of the most prolific builders in ancient Egypt, commissioning hundreds of construction projects throughout both Upper and Lower Egypt, that were grander and more numerous than those of any of her Middle Kingdom predecessors. Following the tradition of most previous pharaohs, Hatshepsut had monuments constructed at the Temple of Karnak. She also restored the original Precinct of Mut, the ancient great goddess of Egypt, at Karnak that had been ravaged by the foreign rulers during the Hyksos occupation. She had twin obelisks, at the time the tallest in the world, erected at the entrance to the temple. One still stands, as the tallest surviving ancient obelisk on Earth; the other has since broken in two and toppled. Another project, Karnak's Red Chapel, or Chapelle Rouge, was intended as a barque shrine and may have stood between her two obelisks originally this building was costructed entired of recycled stone. She later ordered the construction of two more obelisks to celebrate her sixteenth year as pharaoh; one of the obelisks broke during construction, and thus a third was constructed to replace it. The broken obelisk was left at its quarrying site in Aswan, where it still remains. The Temple of Pakhet was built by Hatshepsut at Beni Hasan The cavernous underground temple, cut into the rock cliffs on the eastern side of the Nile, was admired and called the Speos Artemidos by the Greeks during their occupation of Egypt. They saw the goddess as a parallel to their hunter goddess Artemis.This temple was altered later.

The best and most noteworthy part of Hatshepsut's building projects was her mortuary temple complex at Deir el-Bahri. It was designed and implemented by Senemut at a site on the West Bank of the Nile River near the entrance to what is now called the Valley of the Kings because of all the pharaohs who later chose to associate their complexes with the grandeur of hers. Her buildings were the first grand ones planned for that location. The focal point was the Djeser-Djeseru or "the Sublime of Sublimes", a colonnaded structure of perfect harmony nearly one thousand years before the Parthenon was built. Djeser-Djeseru sits atop a series of terraces that once were graced with lush gardens but also served a dual purpose, because the tem[ple was built in the side of a cliff Hatshepsut had to take some precautions to secure her constuction against landslides and rock falls. Djeser-Djeseru is built into a cliff face that rises sharply above it. .

It was improvement after improvement. In terms of trade, Hatshepsut was not blind to the need of bolstering Egypt's economy' and indeed, the Punt expedition is but the climax of her consistent trading enterprises with Lebanon, Crete, Syria, West Africa, South Africa, Aswan and the reopening of mines in Mt.

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.

She had some campaigns. Hatshepsut, the daughter of King Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose, was married to her half-brother, Thutmose II. Hatshepsut's ambition, however, encountered that of the energetic Thutmose III, who had become head of the army. As she and her loyal officials aged, his party grew stronger. The early death of her daughter, whom she married to Thutmose III, may have contributed to her decline.

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.

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.

Perhaps the most important part of Hatshepsut's legacy was her creation of a flourishing and stable Egypt through her highly successful foreign policy. Her military campaigns in both the north and the south augmented the extent of Egypt's influence on a vaster scale. The tomb inscription of Scribe Djehuty, I saw the collection of the booty of this mighty ruler from the vile Kush, who is deemed cowards' attests that Hatshepsut's military endeavors also contributed significantly to Egypt's economic prosperity.

It seems to me that for fun she worked. Hatshepsut's legacy is also extant in the enduring architectural innovations she incorporated into her building program. The design of Djeser-Djeseru is a prime example; although there exist a few doubtful precursors of the terraced template originality of the design cannot be gainsaid.'

she probably did, because in the hieroglyphs of most ancient Egyptians, they were shown holding hands or putting an arm around their spouses shoulder. But her husband (Thutmose II) was also her brother.

Rich or poor, infamous and the famous only take that which they have learned in their lives, for no material things (Possessions) can enter the kingdom of God. We wil have no use of earthly wealth in the kingdom of heaven.

Hatshepsut was the first female pharoah in a male dominated society

There was a time when that became an issue. Historians say that her paintings were carved out because of religion problems. Maybe it was something she learned from Moises the Hebrew that she saves from the river.

1) she dressed as a male

2) she was the 5th pharaoh in the 18th dynasty

3) she brought peace to Egypt ( ended all war )

4) promoted trade

5) was one of the most prolific builder pharaohs of ancient Egypt (built my temples in her own honor)

i'm doing a report on her too ;D

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. She was buried in the valley of the queens. Her time or reign was 1508-1458 BC. She was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. The mummy was found long ago but it was unidentified until 2014. They found a tooth in the organ jars and it was a match. Her mummy was found at last. Her mummy was found under the instruction of Dr. Hawass.

If you mean the Temple of Hatshepsut in the Valley of the Kings, then the name of it is Deir el Bahri.

Although it is not her Palace it was built as Hatshepsut's Mortuary Temple, which is a place for people to worship the dead King/Queen, to leave offerings, and where the priests performed a series of daily funerary rites.

She builds the Djeser-Djeseru. We know it as The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. It is located at Deir el-Bahri, The Obelisks of Hatshepsut and The Red Chapel. She lived in the Palace of Ma'at.
