Hatshepsut means “Foremost of Noble Ladies”, and she truly was. She ruled
for approximately 22 years, and was one of the only female pharaohs of Egypt.
Hatshepsut ruled for 22 years in the 18th dynasty Egypt. Historians refer to her
as “The First Great Woman of History” because of her lengthy rule. When she
turned twelve, Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose 2. They had one
daughter, Neferure. Thutmose 2 also had a secondary wife, and he had one
son, Thutmose 3. However, when Thutmose 2 died, his infant son had to step
up as pharaoh. But, since a baby can’t rule a country, Hatshepsut took his
place until Thutmose 3 would come of age.

Accomplishments
Hatshepsut created many great buildings and trade routes
during her time as pharaoh. When she was queen, many statues
were created in her honor. So many were created, that you can
find a Hatshepsut statue in almost any great art museum in the
world. Also, the buildings constructed in her rien were so great,
later pharaohs took credit for them!

Death
Hatshepsut had a very long life. She died in her mid 40’s-50’s. Scientists
don’t know when she died, but they think she died of bone cancer. Hatshepsut’s
tomb is believed to be the oldest tomb in the Valley of the Kings. She is buried
with Thutmose 1, her father. They are buried in the Eastern-most part of the valley.
Their tomb is cut into the cliff face. During the reign of Thutmose 3, Thutmose 1
was moved to KV 38. Hatshepsut’s mummy remained in KV 20, and was
eventually robbed by tomb robbers, so there are hardly any artifacts. Due to the
condition of the tomb, it is not open to the public.
