Some historians wonder if Thutmose III was upset that Hatshepsut took away his birthright and destroyed records of her to get back at her. Whatever the reason, their work was in vain, because even after all these years, records were still found of her reign, and some mentions of her may have been found in the Bible. Though no one is certain that it was her, the references to a female Pharaoh and Queen of Sheba make historians think that it was…

Despite what many 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 step-brother, dies, and using that as a stepping stone to claim solitary kingship rather than continuing a life of co-regency – meaning, shared kingship – with Thutmose III, the originally intended male heir and her step-son. This essay will analyze…

This reunification of Egypt and the accession of Ahmose I thus marked the beginning of what is now known as the New Kingdom. After the reunification of Egypt was dealt with he returned home and married his sister Ahmose-Nefertiri, which was seen as something normal and actually beneficial as it (supposedly) strengthen the bloodline and made it pure . This marriage to his sister could of course be seen as just being a normal cultural practice that shows up once in a while in Egyptian history, but the sudden rise of incest in his successors all through the 18th dynasty could offer a different explanation to the incestuous marriage and marriages there after. After the extended period of time where Egypt was separated, showing strength as a newly unified country was probably of optimum importance.…
