Everyone was making fun of her for running for Pharaoh Hatshepsut was pacing in her amazing bedroom waiting for the election results of who’s gonna become the next Pharaoh. She was scared as she was thinking about what she would do if she winned the election. Later on their would be a gathering telling who won. Hatshepsut was so nervous and she wanted so many things to be changed especially the ways of trade. While she was waiting for all the votes to come in she took a little nap. {*3 hours later}

    Hatshepsut's Roles In Ancient Egypt

    As rulers, there are only three female Pharaohs in the whole ancient Egypt and Hatshepsut was the first one, though the most known is Cleopatra. “Hatshepsut offers us no explanation for her unprecedented assumption of power. It seems that there was no opposition to her elevation, although, of course, it is very unlikely that any such opposition would have been recorded” (Tyldesley, 96). In this book, it also presents a sentence from her tomb that was translated “I have never slumbered as one forgetful, but have made strong what was decayed. I have raised up what was dismembered, even from the first time when the Asiatics were in Avaris of the North Land, with roving hordes in the midst of them overthrowing what had been made; they ruled without Re… I have banished the abominations of the gods, and the earth has removed their footprints” (Tyldesley, 100).…

    Queen Hatshepsut Research Paper

    Queen Hatshepsut was born in 1508 BC, to King Thutmose I, as the sixth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty. At age twelve she married her half-brother, Thutmose II, and became Queen. Together they had one daughter, Neferure, but since Hatshepsut was not able to produce a son, her stepson, Thutmose III, became the rightful heir to the throne. In 1479 BC, Queen Hatshepsut’s husband died, and Thutmose III became King with her acting as regent. For a long time, she stayed in the background and let the attention focus on Thutmose III, but later on, she declared herself as the Pharaoh of Egypt.…

    Who Is Hatshepsut Brave

    Hatshepsut was a great leader, because she was strategic, persistent, and brave. Hatshepsut was a very strategic Pharaoh. She made sure she would be remembered by making many trade agreements (even if she was erased from history). She was also a very persistent ruler. She lied about her parents in order to become Pharaoh when the true heir was too young, and even when people discriminated against her, she never gave up. Hatshepsut was also very brave. She was one of Egypt’s only female Pharaohs and it was brave of her to do that, even though she knew there would be problems. Overall, Hatshepsut was an amazing Pharaoh because she was strategic, persistent, and brave.…

    Queen Hatshepsut DBQ

    Queen Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh who ruled Egypt. She reigned during 1473 – 1458 B.C.E. She first served as co-ruler with her stepson Tuthmosis III, but later took power as a pharaoh herself. Although she was a great ruler, the idea of having a female ruler was unfamiliar to Egyptians and it unsettled them. As an effort to present her in unthreatening guise to make Egyptians feel more at ease, artists depicted Queen Hatshepsut as a male wearing the stylized beards that are traditionally associated with pharaohs. This gesture shows how females are subordinate to males because they did not feel comfortable that their nation was being led by a female. That is why most societies turned to patriarchal rule. This gesture also showed how they did not respect Queen Hatshepsut because they altered her image as a male. Many societies indicated women’s subordination to men’s status through documents showing how women were not able to participate in government duties, not being allowed a proper education and the inequality between slave men and slave women.…

    Hatshepsut

    The Coronation scene is a continuation of the Divine Birth scene, giving details of the revelation of young Hatshepsut’s royal status and most importantly, her coronation as a pharaoh. In the scene, Hatshepsut was portrayed a pharaoh, wearing the white crown and the false beard. She was kneeling down and received blessing from her father- Thutmose I. In addition, the Coronation inscription consisted of political statements emphasising Hatshepsut's right to the throne, as her father chose her…

    Hatshepsut

    Initially when Hatshepsut became pharaoh doubt was prevalent among the kingdom which was why she relied heavily on propaganda to secure her powerful position and discourage those who were discontent with her position. One of the primary pieces of propaganda was a rewritten version of history which placed Hatshepsut as the legitimate successor of the throne following her father, Thutmose I. Originally Thutmose III was the legitimate successor of Thutmose II, his father and Hatshepsut’s husband. Thutmose III however was too young to be pharaoh so Hatshepsut became regent only to realise how discontent she was ruling as a diarchy alongside Thutmose III. This led to the manipulation of history so as to place Hatshepsut as the legitimate successor of Thutmose I. Hatshepsut had inscribed on the walls of her mortuary temple in Deir el-Bahri a relief depicting her father, Thutmose I, presenting her to the court stating, ‘This is my daughter, Khnemet-Amun Hatshepsut […] she is my successor upon my throne’. The relief placed Hatshepsut in a position of high political power as very few would question the word of a pharaoh. It was blatantly manipulative but extremely beneficial for Hatshepsut, allowing for her to rise as pharaoh with the absence of challenge. Another primary piece of propaganda was the narrative of Hatshepsut’s divinity that was made prevalent…

    Hatshepsut

    Shortly afterwards, some sources say Hatshepsut claimed the throne for herself, whereas others say that she ruled with Thutmose III as a diarchy. The birth and coronation scenes at Deir el-Bahri show Hatshepsut's divine birth, although they have been greatly damaged, supposedly due to a vengeful Thutmose III. According to the scenes, Amon (a prominent god in Upper Egypt) goes to a sleeping Ahmose in the form of Thutmose I and awakens her with pleasant odours. At this point Amon places the ankh, a symbol of life, to Ahmose's nose, and Hatshepsut is conceived. From this source, historians have been able to decipher that in order to justify her leadership, Hatshepsut claimed that she’d had a divine birth. In these scenes Hatshepsut is shown as a young boy, and through her claim of divinity she won the support of the priests.…

    Hatchet

    Hatshepsut’s reign was basically a peaceful one. The lack of frantic military activity during her years in power is one of the outstanding and defining characteristics of her rule. She focused more on activities like trade and construction. She expanded trade with Nubia, Libya, and countries in Asia. She also ordered expeditions to present-day Somalia, which was then called Punt, to acquire special goods like ivory, spices, and gold. She expanded trading relations and built magnificent temples as well as restoring many others. Hatshepsut also restored and renovated several old buildings that had been damaged or destroyed by invading armies. One of these was the temple at Ipet-Issut. In addition to the renovations, she built the Red Chapel for the holy barge of Amun, Hatshepsut put up two huge obelisks that were covered in gold foil, reflecting the sun’s rays all around. As one of the few female pharaohs, Hatshepsut’s reign is a significant one in the history of ancient Egypt. Her period of rule was marked by an absence of military campaigns and a…

    Women's Rights In Ancient Egypt

    Without men in their life, women in ancient Egypt would not have been able to have any sort of social, legal, or economic power because men were always there to provide it. Women were able to own property, do what they pleased with it, make money for themselves, and have equal rights under the law as men. However, now that women had been exposed to freedom, they had to take credit for any wrongdoing or beneficial task that they did for the society around them. The perspective that citizens had concerning the women did not reflect the rights that women had.…
