Pharaoh

When you think about an ideal pharaoh with warrior-like attributes, you most likely aren’t thinking about a woman. In this case, Co-Ruler and Pharaoh, Hatshepsut was a ruler who gained a legacy that many will remember. Historians say, 1 “Hatshepsut was only the third woman to become pharaoh in 3,00 years of ancient Egyptian history, and the first to attain the full power of the position”. Hatshepsut’s story of reigning was different than most would have had. She was the daughter of King…

One of the most accomplished Pharaohs of Egypt is the one and only Hatshepsut. By using her many good qualities, she rose to be king in a time when women did not typically hold power.

Officially, she ruled jointly with Thutmose III who had ascended to…

art work is that for the ancient Egyptians, the ideal king was a young man in the prime of life. The physical reality was of less importance, so an old man, a baby, or even a woman who held the titles of pharaoh could be represented in this ideal form, as in this representation of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut.

injustices because they did it so there pharaohs could have a good afterlife, also because they were religious, and Another reason they did it was so they could have a good afterlife as well. Great achievements are worth great injustices because, they built the pyramids so their pharaohs could save them in the afterlife.

Hieratic script was simpler form of hieroglyphics. Egyptians believed in polytheism which means that although they believed in many gods,…

Egyptians viewed their society and the greater world, and how different classes in Egypt might have interacted. Namely, both pieces serve as obvious propaganda pieces for the Egyptian pharaoh –highlighting the relationship between the king and the lower tiers of society and setting up defined traits for how the pharaoh was supposed to be perceived in Egyptian society.
