The Queen of Hatshepsut, who is without any doubt the world's best-known female monarch, is one of the most influential Queens in Egyptian history after Cleopatra VII. The Dora of the princesses, or the concubine of Amun, is known also as the Ghanemat Amun Hatschepsut and its name is considered to be the fifth most important among Kings of the 18th Dynasty.
The Egyptian woman ruled, Hatshepsut, for more than 20 years (1490 - 1468). She was not the first Pharaoh woman; it occurred during the Old Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom for the first time. But in times of crisis, which had followed splendid times, the two Pharaohs formerly reigned. On the other hand, Hatshepsut is the head of the wealthy and strong Egyptian age.
The father's energizing character was inherited by Hatshepsut. She married Thutmose II, his son, who was a little short of his reign (1493-1490). A riot broke out in Nubia during its first year of rule. The Pharaoh is furious that some raiders had robbed cattle and that some tribes had wary of attacking some fortifications. His vengeance is awful. With the army, he goes up to the Nile and killed the insurgents. Just one was saved: the son of a leader whom the winning soldiers were applauded, being taken captive at Thebes (nowadays Luxor).
The young King, with a promising future, dies early. Egypt is in a tough position because of his passing. He is still a boy but is not capable of performing the daunting role for which he is destined. Thutmosis II leaves two daughters and a son, the future Thutmose III. Then, as she says, the regent, Hatshepsut, will rule the country, "daughter of the king, sister of the king, bride of god, great royal bride"
Hatshepsut was a completely traditional regent for the first few years of her stepson's rule. But she was proclaimed king and accepted the full royal titular by the end of her seventh ruling year.
