Queen Hatshepsut “Queen Man”

Who is Queen Hatshepsut?

What is the story of her assuming power ???

And the secret of her appearance in the clothes of pharaohs men ????

This queen left many mysteries and secrets, and perhaps the most exciting of these mysteries is the character “We shall die.”

Was there a love story she had with her servant, the engineer, “We shall die” ?????

Amon spoiled Hatshepsut, famous for (Hatshepsut),

The most famous queens who ruled Egypt, and the most powerful of them; Her rule was a milestone not only in the history of the Eighteenth Dynasty but in all of Egypt’s ancient history.

Her father is King Tuthmosis the First.

And her mother is Queen Ahmose.

She was known by the title “Queen Man” because she always looked like men and wore a fake chin while meeting royalty at ceremonies and conferences.

What is meant by the name Hatshepsut is “his noble superior.”

Since the father of Hatshepsut was king of “King Tuthmosis the First.”

And her mother is the queen of “Queen Ahmose.”

Thus, royal blood flowed through her veins, and she was the most deserving of the throne of Egypt.

But when the king died, “Tuthmosis the First.”

He had married a secondary wife, a commoner, and had a son with her, “Tuthmosis the Second.”

Here the problem appeared: Who is more entitled to rule Egypt ???

“Hatshepsut” with royal blood, or “Tuthmosis the Second”, the son of an Egyptian high school mother. ???

But the Egyptians would not accept being ruled by a woman

Hatshepsut had only one way to save her father’s throne: to marry her half-brother, “Tuthmosis the Second,” whose rule was not due to the lack of royal blood flowing in his veins. In any case, the marriage took place, and with the followers, Thutmose II ascended the country’s throne.

Tuthmosis the Second was a weak-personality king, which allowed Hatshepsut to intervene in government affairs and make important decisions.

So “Hatshepsut” became the commanding and forbidding in Egypt.

After the death of King “Tuthmosis the Second”, he had also married a secondary wife from a common people named “Isis” and had a child with her, who was “Tuthmosis the Third.”

And the problem renewed: Who will rule Egypt ???

“Hatshepsut” is of the royal origin or “Thutmose III” of colloquial origin.

And since “Tuthmosis the Third” was young, Hatshepsut sent him to the temple to learn the origins of the priesthood, and she became the Queen of Egypt through tutelage and representation for “Tuthmosis the Third” and made him her heir.

When “Tuthmosis the Third” grew up and demanded the throne, she sent him to learn the origins of fighting and war to become a strong king, and thus “Hatshepsut” continued as a proxy queen of Egypt for twenty years.

The secret of Hatshepsut’s appearance in the clothes of male pharaohs !!!

Hatshepsut did not want to innovate in the appearance of the ruling pharaoh that people had known for decades. However, at the beginning of her reign, she was portrayed as a woman with full adornment; later, she became an example of the strong and muscular pharaoh, who wears a false beard. She wore clothes similar to the clothes of the men who preceded her from the pharaohs in official ceremonies, as it appeared in some of her statues with a false chin, as is customary in the statues of the pharaohs.

Although this did not diminish the fact that Hatshepsut had all the characteristics of a beautiful female, she had a nice wine-coloured complexion, a slightly curved nose, and a round face.

She liked flowers, gardens, trees, and everything scented, colourful.

Was there a love story between the Queen and the engineer “We Will Die”?

“Senmut” was an interesting mystery in the life of Hatshepsut, the engineer who built her famous temple in Deir el-Bahari, for which she conferred 80 titles for her and who was in charge of raising and educating her little princess (Nefro Ra). His love for his queen reached to dig a tunnel between her tomb And his tomb, to be close to it in the afterlife, just as he was close to it in this world. As for her, she appreciated his ingenuity and the strength of his character, to the extent that he allowed him to build his tomb in the sanctuary of her temple to adjacent to it in his death as he used to do in this world.

If historians’ hints came to indicate the existence of a love that had combined the two, then we will die and Hatshepsut, after the death of her husband. However, this is not certain, and it may just be a relationship of mutual respect.

They were the queen and her servant, too, who had participated in a “mythical life,” and each ended a mysterious end that remains a mystery until now.

And the royal engineer, Senmut, was the one who built the most beautiful funerary temple for a queen in history, whether ancient or modern, for Hatshepsut. It is the temple of Deir al-Bahari, which he built in the bosom of the western mountain, and its construction came with royal white limestone brought from Tora, and in the form of three galleries above one another, to The queen’s spirit elevates her and ascends her to heaven, to abide with the stars.

Despite those who claim that Queen “Hatshepsut” usurped the throne of Egypt and even though historians of ancient Egypt during the reign of “Ramses II” neglected the ignorance and disdain of the reign of the great “Hatshepsut” in the Papyrus of Turin.

However, Hatshepsut’s rule was famous for peace and prosperity. It was trying its utmost to develop relations, especially trade, with the countries of the ancient East to prevent any wars with them.

And it has a lot of architectural works and economic and commercial reforms:

Firstly, architectural works:

Of Queen “Hatshepsut”

Many architectural works, perhaps the most important of the Deir al-Bahari mortuary temple, are located in the Luxor governorate.

Second, economic reforms:

Queen “Hatshepsut” sent a campaign to the country of “Pont.”

She brought with her a lot of commodities like oud, perfumes, spices, and pets.

In addition to the incense trees that were planted in the temples to reduce the import process.

Third, its missions to neighbouring countries:

Hatshepsut took an interest in the Egyptian merchant fleet, built large ships, and used them in internal transportation to transport the obelisks, which she ordered to be added to the Karnak Temple in honour of Amun or to send ships on missions for trade exchange with her neighbours. The most important neighbouring countries are incense, perfumes, spices, tropical plants and trees, predators, and skins.

Its effects:

The establishment of her mortuary temple known as Deir al-Bahari was engraved on it the story of the sacred birth and her journey to Bilad Bint, where it was brought from the country of Bint, such as ivory, ebony, other woods, leopard skins, gold, incense, live monkeys and monkeys. The cemetery of Hatshepsut: The queen’s purpose was to bury her under the niche of her temple. In her cemetery in the Valley of the Kings, the length of the tunnel leading to the burial chamber was about seven hundred feet and its depth perpendicular to three hundred feet. The mummy of Thutmose I transported her father to her tomb and buried her again next to her. She set up two obelisks to celebrate her thirtieth anniversary and memorial to her father, “Tuthmosis the First”, and the god Amun.

Then it erected two other obelisks in the Karnak temple.

The archaeologist added: Salma Hamdy:

Queen Hatshepsut died at the age of fifty years

With cancer and diabetes.

And thus implied a glorious period for the rule of a great queen named “Hatshepsut”, the queen who was oppressed by history and oppressed by the ignorance and hatred of historians, that queen who rose in the country economically and architecturally.
