Hatshepsut

However, history has forgotten Hatshepsut due to the fact that a woman who is successful is automatically distrusted, it is assumed that she will only care about herself and close family members, instead of being able to make far reaching political decisions. An ambitious woman leader is…

Theirs a woman named Hatshepsut she’s not just an ordinary woman, but a Pharaoh of Egypt. She has ruled all of twenty-one years and the third women to become Pharaoh in thirty centuries. She took this reign of power because, her stepson Thutmose III had been so young at the time he had no experience. Although Hatshepsut is a woman ruler, she showed empowerment of women and that they can rule for twenty-one plus years without a husband. Hatshepsut is known for her famous temple, the Temple of…

Two of the most famous ancient Egyptian queens are Queen Cleopatra, and Queen Hatshepsut. Egypt was impacted greatly by these two individuals.

Building…

think, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt did not succeed each other as an unbroken, patrilineal chain by any means. By the Eighteenth Dynasty, the state of kingship had recovered is authority from the Asiatic ruling of the Second Intermediate Period. Hatshepsut, one of the most well-known female kings of Egypt, is a clear outlier to what one would expect from a typical pharaoh. Her story, in summary, involves her gaining control over administration after King Thutmose II, her husband and…

In “Hatshepsut: His Majesty, Herself”, by Catherine Andronik, she informs the reader about Hatshepsut and her role as an effective female pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. One supporting detail of how Hatshepsut was an effective ruler is that she was a regent. In paragraph eight, it states,”Until Tuthmosis lll was mature enough to be crowned pharaoh, what Egypt needed was a regent, an adult who could take control of the country.” This quote explains what Egypt needed and how Hatshepsut was a regent so…

Hatshepsut With a ruling period of over 3000 years, Egypt has seen roughly 170 pharaohs, yet there are few outside of egyptologists that can name more than two or three off the top of their head. Not many remember these kings of the east, and it is even more difficult to when their mark on their own history was erased by their successors. Hatshepsut was one of the few, and by far one of the most successful female pharaohs in ancient Egypt. She was the first of them to seize total control of…

As long as Egypt contains many areas that full of mountains, normally we found caves inside. The ancient Egyptians progressively enhanced these natural existed caves until they were buildings altogether, or until they appeared as buildings carved into the solid rock. The Egyptians used these caves in their worship. The god in the ordinary city-temples repeated the First Time when god emerged from the waters of chaos on the primeval mound. However, in the cave-shrine resembles the womb from which…

with great detail for future generations. Historians also believe that Hatshepsut might have also had personal and political motivations to build Deir-el Bahri. The temple was dedicated to Amun-Re, which thus reinforced his importance as a primary Theban god and also reaffirmed Hatshepsut's story that claimed she personally ascended from the god to eventually achieve her divine destiny as the pharaoh of Egypt (Roth 147).

Black Woman as the original human being, cradle of humanity and civilization. I feel that it is extremely important to remind Black Woman of their worth and their history. I decided to write a paper on the Black Queens of Al-Kebulan (Africa). Queen Hatshepsut was the longest reigning woman pharaoh in Egypt, ruling for 20 years in the 15th century B.C. She is recognized as one of Egypt's most accomplished pharaohs. She ruled as Queen in conjunction with her husband, Pharaoh Thutmose II, but after…
