The grandeur of their architecture, their culture and tradition that was so abundant totally different from alternative nations throughout the traditional times
When I consider Egypt, the things that comes into my mind are pharaohs, pyramids, sphinxes, queens, the Nile watercourse, temples, hihieroglyphs, obelisks. When I started reading its history, I was deeply moved by Queen Hatshepsut, who is thought of because the Greatest feminine Pharaoh of Egypt ever dominated in Egypt and her works has ne'er been equaled by any of the pharaohs succeeding her. Let me provide you a lot of elaborate data concerning her as we have a tendency to continue with my article
From a Royal Parents, King Thutmose I and Chief Queen Ahmose, our queen was born in 15th Century, approximately 1508 BC. Her name Hatshepsuth means, "Foremost of the Noble Ladies". She probably has a younger sister, Neferubity which was mentioned in the temple of Beir el-Bahri
When her father died, the throne was succeeded by Thutmose II. It was a custom in ancient Egypt that the successor of the throne must marry the eldest female offspring of the king before him. In their case, Thutmose II must marry Hatshepsut to be his Chief mate, besides, she is of pure royal blood, compared to Thutmose II who is the son of Thutmose I from another mate, Isis, without any royal blood. They had a daughter, Neferure. King Thutmose II died in the 4th year of his reign therefore he's succeeded by his son, Thutmose III, his son from a royal harem. Since the crowned king was therefore young to rule, Queen Hatshepsut became his co-regent. Eventually she made a method to proclaim herself the fifth Pharaoh of Egypt of the eighteenth kinfolk. She made use of several ways to legitimatise her throne.

She is considered because the "Queen of Peace" of the traditional Egypt. There is an proof that the employment of implements of war throughout her time was marginal. Instead of attending to war to foreign lands, she established trading, restored temple and build new ones, erecting obelisks to show her greatness. Some of her works are
The Mortuary Temple of Bei el-bhair- considered to be the grandest of all temples in Egypt, the masterpiece of all her buildings. Its main focal point referred to as Djeser-Djeseru which implies nobility of sublimes, is a colonnaded structure with good harmony. This was built a thousand years before the Pantheon of Balkan country. Other pharaohs before her erected their temples in this advanced to share of her greatness
