The Most Successful Female Pharaoh Eradication Effort in Ancient Egyptian History; MAKE HATSHEPSUT

Hatshepsut was the longest reigning female Pharaoh in ancient Egypt. He ruled for 20 years in the 15th century BC. Hatshepsut was the 5th Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty.

Hatshepsut was born around 1508 BC. She was the eldest daughter and only child born to Egyptian King Thutmose I to his wife and chief Queen, Ahmose.

Queen Hatshepsut is considered one of the most successful Pharaohs of Egypt. But traces of his leadership success tried to be erased in history by the next Pharaoh, Thutmose III.

Under the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt prospered. Unlike other Ancient Egyptian rulers in his dynasty, he was more interested in ensuring economic prosperity and building and restoring monuments throughout Egypt and Nubia than in conquering new lands.

Hatshepsut is said to be so rich that she managed to build a project that raised the name of Ancient Egyptian architecture comparable to any classical architecture.

Hatshepsut also commissioned hundreds of construction projects throughout Upper and Lower Egypt. The building was considered to be much grander than its predecessors, and many of his successors attempted to claim it as their own.

Hatshepsut's greatest edifice achievement was the mortuary temple built in a complex in Deir el-Bahri, located on the West bank of the Nile. It is still considered one of the architectural wonders of ancient Egypt.

This female pharaoh had one famous trading expedition to the land of Punt in the 9th year of her reign. The ships returned with gold, ivory, and myrrh. The scene is enshrined on the walls of the Temple of Ammon at Karnak.

At the end of the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut, Thutmose III began a campaign to erase the memory of Hatshepsut's reign.

Thutmose III destroyed or damaged this monument to the 18th Dynasty female Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, removing many of her inscriptions and building a wall around her obelisk.

Hatshepsut died at the age of about 50 years according to an inscription in Armant. His mummy was not in his prepared grave, and many of the signs of his whereabouts have been blotted out.

The identification of Hatshepsut's mummy is an archaeological marvel. While her son has gone to great lengths to erase Hatshepsut from the history sheet, modern science has succeeded in dismantling her.
