My report is on Queen Hatshepsut, she was the first great women in recorded history. Daughter of Thutmose ( 1504-1492 BC) and Queen Ahmose Nefertari,who was married to her half-brother Thutmose the second (1492-1479 BC), the son of a secondary wife, perhaps in order to strengthen his claim to the throne. She had a daughter, Neferura, by Thutmose the second, the but the heir to the throne, the future Thutmose the third was the son of one of Thutmose the second`s concubincs. Since Thutmose the third (1479-1425 BC), was only male child, he was married to his half-sister Neferura in order in reinforce his position. Because Thutmose the third was still young when his father died, Hatshepsut was appointed regent, and she took the further step of having herself crowned king, allowing her to continue to enjoy a long Coregency with the young Thutmose, thus effectively blocking him from full power. In this she appears to have had the support of the priests of Amun, and some of the reliefs in her mortuary temple at Deir El-Bahri reinforced her claim by emphasizing her divine birth, the result of a union between Amun and her mother Queen Ahmose. She was probably never the chosen, heir of her father Thutmose I, although she claimed to have been given the kingship during her.
father`s lifetime. It`s is likely, however, that these reliefs and inscriptions concerning her legitimacy were simply part of usual paraphernabia of Kingship rather than self-conscious propaganda on her part.
Being able to read the language made it possible for archeologists to learn much more from the ruin they dug up. When they uncovered the tomb temple of Hatshepsut, they learned about a remarkable woman who had ruled as a god-king.
She remained in power for twenty years and during this time the Egyptian economy flourished, she expanded trading relations and built magnificent temples as well as restoring many others. Eventually her nephew grew into a man an took his rightful place as pharaoh.
