The original name of Hatshepsut is: Ghanamat Amun Hatshepsut, meaning: the favorite of Amon's wife, or the princess of Amun.

Queen Maat Ka Ra Hatshepsut (1482 BC) One of the most famous queens in history, the fifth Pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty, ruled from 1503 BC. Until 1482 BC. And strongly marked by outdated military, construction and flights carried out. The eldest daughter of Egypt's pharaoh king Thutmose I and her mother Queen Ahmose. Her father, the king, had an illegitimate son, Tuthmosis the Second, and she accepted to marry him on the royal family's habit of joining together in government after his death.

This queen has left many mysteries and mysteries. Perhaps the most exciting of these mysteries is the character of Sinmut, the architect who built her famous temple in the monastery of the sea, which gave him 80 titles and was responsible for caring for her only daughter. He was in love with his angel to dig a tunnel between her tomb and his grave. If the historians' hints suggest a love that has brought together both Sinmuth and Hatshepsut, the queen and her servant have also participated in a "mythical life", each ending with a mysterious end that remains a mystery to date.

The rule of Hatshepsut was famous for its peace and prosperity, as it was trying its best to develop relations, especially trade with the countries of the ancient East, to prevent any wars with them.

Hatshepsut faced many problems at the beginning of her rule because of her rule behind the curtain without formal form. Some people say she killed her husband and brother Tuthmosis II to seize power but there is not enough evidence. On the other hand, she faced problems with the people, where most people saw that she was a woman and could not govern the country. The king was, according to tradition, representative of the ruling god Horus on earth. So she was always dressed and dressed in men's clothes, and she was rumored to be the daughter of Amun to convince the people that she could govern. At the same time, Crown Prince Thutmose III was still a boy and could not take care of the country's interests. Hatshepsut worked on the rule of the country until it grew up, and took care of Tuthmosis the Third to raise a military education so that he could take over the reins of government later. Hatshepsut active trade with Egypt's neighbors where trade was in poor condition, especially during the reign of King Tuthmosis II, and ordered the construction of several facilities in the temple Karnak, and established its temple in the Monastery of the sea in Luxor, and was characterized by peace and prosperity.

Hatshepsut was interested in the Egyptian merchant fleet and established large vessels and exploited them in internal transport to transport the obelisks ordered to be added to Karnak Temple in order to worship the god Amun or to send ships in trade exchange missions with its neighbors, and was characterized by prosperity in Egypt and peace. Neighboring countries, the most important of which are incense, perfumes, spices, plants, tropical trees, predators and leather.

Atlantic mission: Queen Hatshepsut sent a large fleet to the Atlantic Ocean and flourished trade with the Atlantic Ocean to import some rare fish species.

Puntland Mission: Queen Hatshepsut sent a commercial mission on board large vessels carrying ships in the Red Sea loaded with Egyptian gifts and goods such as papyrus and linen to the countries of Punt (Somalia now). The Punt king received the mission well and then returned loaded with large quantities of predators, wood and incense Ebony, ivory, leather and precious stones. Queen Hatshepsut photographed the news of the mission on the walls of the monastery of the monastery on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor. The colors that decorate the paintings of this temple are still glowing and retain their brilliance and beauty to a large extent.

Aswan Mission: Also photographed on the walls of the Deir Al Bahari Temple, the description of the Hatshepsut mission to the granite quarries at Aswan to bring the huge stones of the installations. She built two large granite marshes in Aswan, a glorification of the god Amun, each with about 35 tons. They were then transported on the Nile to Taiba. The two women took their place at Karnak Temple in Luxor. When Napoleon visited Napoleon during the French campaign on Egypt in 1879, he ordered the transfer of one of the Muslim women to France, which has so far adorned the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
Historians and engineers marvel to this day that the Egyptians are able to transport these two women from Aswan to Luxor. The process of loading the two ships on the ships and then transporting them to the Nile and landing them on the land, then moving them on the ground to the place of construction is not easy at all. What is more, the construction of the two mosques in the place chosen for them is right in front of the building built by Queen Hatshepsut in Karnak Temple, a few meters away from the edifice. Engineers are still developing theories of the way the ancient Egyptian engineer did this great work. Not only that, Hatshepsut issued orders to create an obelisk which is the largest obelisk in the history of mankind, consisting of one piece of stone weighing over 1000 tons to be placed in the temple Karnak, but the ancient Egyptian engineers left it after they discovered a crack prevents use. Visitors from all over the world are now visiting the marvel of the unfinished obelisk in the Aswan quarry. They ask themselves: How did the ancient Egyptians want to transfer this giant obelisk to the temple of Karnak? One of the Egyptian Egyptian scientists describes the stone cutting methods that the ancient Egyptians were dealing with the stone as if it were butter, and actually can be seen in the quarry of Aswan and is now called (incomplete)
Hatshepsut in popular culture

One of the most famous queens who rule Egypt is beauty, and Hatshepsut is the first to wear gloves because of a congenital defect in her fingers (6 fingers or more in one hand). People did not know this until after seeing her mummies. In most of the statues that were made for her, The sculptors ordered this, also the first to model the gloves with precious stones.
Military campaigns

One military campaign registered under the reign of Hatshepsut was carried out by Thutmose III, the seizure of Gaza, near the end of its rule. Some manuscripts, such as a manuscript found in Senenmut (TT71), reveal disciplinary campaigns in Nubia and some other countries under Egyptian authority.

Her death

Hatshepsut died on the 10th of the second month of autumn (14 January 1457 BC) during the 22nd year of her reign. This came in writing to the Panel found Barment. The ancient Egyptian historian Maneto Manetho estimated the period of her rule to be 21 years and nine months. In the past, she thought she had been killed because of the dispute over the government, but the mummy of Hatshepsut was now being investigated, clearly showing signs of natural death, and the cause of her death was due to cancer or diabetes. Her tomb is in the Valley of the Kings. Hatshepsut may have expanded her father's grave to use it, and found her coffin next to her father's coffin.
