Hatshepsut

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 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.

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.

Hatshepsut had no formal education. Her father taught her the things he thought she should know. Her parents were Pharaoh Tuthmosis and Queen Ahmose of Egypt.

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 exist 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.

Hatshepsut build a burial temple

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.

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.

kinda.....actually at the end of the first kingdom to the start of middle kingdom

--actually, she ruled at the beginning of the New Kingdom, which directly followed the Middle Kingdom.

She became Pharaoh because her stepson Thutmose III was too young to rule. She ruled for him until he was old enough. She ruled for 20 years before disappearing because Thutmose III came to rule. They say Thutmose the third killed her because she stayed Pharaoh when she wasn't supposed to.

She was not in battle in the 20 of reign. She was a notable builder. 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.

Queen Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt came back with Ebony, Ivory, Myrh, skins of exotic animals (giraffe, leopard, and rhino), live animals (baboons and leopards), resin from trees (incense and myrh), gold, and slaves. The live trees were planted in front of her mortuary temple, where their roots can still be seen.

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.

Hatshepsut's grandfather was Ahmose I, her grandmothers were Senseneb and Ahmose-Nefertari (mother to Hatshepsut's mother and adopted mother to Hatshepsut's father).

Hatshepsut's father was Thutmose I/ Amenhotep I. Her mother was Queen Ahmose-Meritamun or "Queen Ahmose." her stepmother was Queen Mutnofret.

Hatshepsut had two brothers by her biological mother, Amenenhat, who died at age 12 and Amenmose. Her full sister was Nebrubity, who appears with her parents as an infant. She is thought to have died from a 2 yr old to a 20 year old. Her half-brother is Wadjmose, son of Mutnofret. Amenmose becomes Thutmose II, and marries Hatshepsut. They have three daughters: one is named Neferure. Neferure as a child appears with a woman named Nefrubity or Nefrubiti, it is thought to be Hatshepsut's elder sister or oldest daughter, Merytre-Hatshepsut was the youngest daughter of Hatshepsut, as being a priestess of Amun-Ra, her priestess name was Hui. Iset, Thutmose II/Amenmose's concubine bears him a son, Thutmose III/Amenhotep II. During Thutmose II/Amenmose's 6 year reign, Hatshepsut finds baby Moses in a basket and adopts him as her son. Rather than being her so called lover, Senmut is actually her son, another name for Moses. When Moses is 12 years old, Thutmose II has died and As Hatshepsut's "son" he is first in line for the throne. Hatshepsut becomes his co-regent and gives him the name Hatshepsut Xnem Amen, meaning offspring of Hatshepsut though the god Amun. He also gains the name Thutmose II and reigns for 13 years with Hatshepsut as his co-ruler. He runs away after killing an Egyptian, so Thutmose III/Amenhotep II marries Merytre-Hatshepsut. (Neferure was a priestess of Amun like her mother and lived into her early twenties, before dying tragically. Hatshepsut's other daughter died soon after). Hatshepsut gives up her name and goes by the her priestess name, Hui. Her last appearance was the statue of her with Merytre-Hatshepsut and Thutmose III/Amenhotep II's children. She died heartbroken 5-6 years after Moses' departure.

There was no disavatange of her ruling. Other after her brought the land down. Extreme prosperity and renaissance in art and building projects mark the beginning of this period.

. 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.

She 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.

He did that after her death. 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.

Queen Hatshepsut was daughter of Thutmose I. She married her half brother, Thutmose II, to keep the blood line pure. When he died the crown was supposed to go to her step son, Thutmose III, but instead she took it because she thought he was way too young. She was a great ruler and wore men's clothing to prove she was their king. After she died her step son took over for 33 years alone and destroyed any remains of Hapshepsut.

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.

The reason that Hatshepsut dressed like a boy is that most males that held power in Egypt did not believe that a woman could rule Egypt without a husband. Hatshepsut also new that traditionally women where only able to be regents or wife not Pharaohs and she believed that if she was presented where the paraphernalia of a male Pharaoh it would be easier for traditionalist to accept her rule as Pharaoh instead of her nephew Thutmose III whose ruling power she usurped for twenty one years

by killing other foes, and by making higher walls, to prevent attacts and distruction from other temples and religeons.

Answer

Hatshepsut's body has been positively identified in recent years by the Egyptologist Zahi Hawass. Her body was mummified, as would normally be done. It has been identified by a missing tooth, a tooth placed in a box marked with Hatshepsut's name, that was found in her tomb. It was also identified by the fact that it was put in a cache with her nurse, which narrowed it down. A dentist was able to show that the tooth definitely came from Hatshepsut's body. Her mummy was one in a cache of mummies, moved to protect it from tomb robbers.

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.
