Queen of Egypt – Hatshepsut

Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thutmose I.

Thutmose I was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Thutmose I's ascension to the throne took place in extraordinary circumstances. Pharaoh Amenhotep I had no male descendants, and his pharaoh's throne was not inherited by a man of royal blood, but by the military chief Thutmose. Thutmose came from humble origins, but it seems that in order to legitimize his rule, he married Princess Amos, the daughter of the former pharaoh.

Hatshepsut was the only concubine between Pharaoh Thutmose I and Queen Amos.

During the last period of Thutmose I's reign, he entrusted most of the affairs of state to his beloved daughter Hatshepsut. After Thutmose I's death, Hatshepsut's husband (the eldest son born to Thutmose I and his concubine), her half-brother, succeeded to the throne as Thutmose II. Frail and ill, with no intention of governing the country, the power fell to Hatshepsut soon after he succeeded to the throne.

Although he had designated his son Thutmose III before his death, a few years later, Tutmos III died of illness, and Thutmose III was only 10 years old, born to Thutmose II and his concubine, and Hatshepsut was unstable at this time and unable to realize his ambitions. She arranged for her daughter to marry Thutmose III, after which Thutmose III succeeded to the throne, while Hatshepsut took full authority over the affairs of the state as regent.

According to Egyptian tradition, the Egyptian monarch must be a descendant of the god Amun, that is, he must be male, but Hatshepsut does not care so much, and in order to consolidate her power, he once deified himself.

Thutmose III grew up and was ambitious and unwilling to be a puppet. Hatshepsut then exiled Thutmose III to a remote location before he became an adult. At this point, Hatshepsut had everything in place to become a pharaoh, and only how to break the tradition that women could not be the dynasty. So she joined forces with the monks to fabricate her life and call herself the daughter of the sun god Amun: the sun god, in order to allow his descendants to rule Egypt, incarnated as Thutmose I and the queen to give birth to a daughter, and now this woman has gone through hardships and can be the pharaoh who rules Egypt. She also placed many gold plates on top of the temple's stone tablets to reflect the sun's rays to prove to the world her close relationship with the sun god. Then she began to dress as a man, wearing a false beard, men's clothes, holding a scepter and a majestic majesty, and ordered everyone to call her a male pronoun. Hatshepsut became an Egyptian female pharaoh as she wished.

After becoming a female pharaoh, Hatshepsut was rarely seen in person, and her true appearance was as mysterious as her legend.

Gender aside, as far as her achievements are concerned, of all the Rulers of Egypt, there are not many egyptian rulers who can match her. Internally, order is maintained without the need for severe punishment; externally, peace is achieved without loss. She organized an expedition to Punt, the east coast of Africa. She found many new markets for Egyptian businessmen. She helped beautify Kelnaikok, where she erected two very elaborate stone tablets. She continued to build the temple her father wanted to build in Darbach. All over the country, she also repaired all the temples that had been destroyed by the Sixos. Finally, she built a majestic mausoleum for herself on a hill of sand on the west bank of the Nile. Later, the kings of Egypt followed suit and built their tombs there.

Egypt, under the rule of the Queen of England, has been in the past 22 years.

At the time of Hatshepsut's death, his heir, Thutmose III, was only 22 years old.
