The New Kingdom was the time of the warrior pharaohs and the eighteenth dynasty.
Many well-known pharaohs and other important figures such as Tutankhamun and Nefertiti came from this impressive dynasty. A lesser-known pharaoh, also of the eighteenth dynasty, ruled Ancient Egypt before both figures but had greater significance in terms of their rule. The typical thought of a pharaoh is a man who is descendent of the royal family and is believed to be the direct link and descendent of the gods of Ancient Egypt. He is perfection in the people’s eyes and is wholly worshiped as he brings prosperity across the land when his reign goes well. There was a pharaoh that did not fit under one of those criteria but ruled just the same. Her name is Hatshepsut
