Amenhotep I, also preceding Hatshepsut in the eighteenth dynasty, probably came to power while a young child and his mother, Ahmose-Nefertari, is thought to have been a regent for him.

At this point in the histories, records of the reign of Hatshepsut end, since the first major foreign campaign of Tuthmosis III was dated to his twenty-second year, which also would have been Hatshepsut's twenty-second year as pharaoh.

Hatshepsut also sent raiding expeditions to Byblos and Sinai shortly after the Punt expedition.

Another one of her great accomplishments is the Hatshepsut needle ( also known as the granite obelisks ).

Sobekneferu, ruling six dynasties prior to Hatshepsut, also did so when she ruled Egypt.

Statues portraying Sobekneferu also combine elements of traditional male and female iconography and, by tradition, may have served as inspiration for these works commissioned by Hatshepsut.

Hatshepsut also traced her lineage to Mut, a primal mother goddess of the Egyptian pantheon, which gave her another ancestor who was a deity as well as her father and grandfathers, pharaohs who would have become deified upon death.

While Hatshepsut was depicted in official art wearing regalia of a pharaoh, such as the false beard that male pharaohs also wore, it is most unlikely that she ever wore such ceremonial decorations, just as it is unlikely that the male pharaohs did.

Hatshepsut also refurbished the burial of her father and prepared for a double interment of both Thutmose I and her within KV20.

Hatshepsut had monuments constructed and also restored the original Precinct of Mut, the ancient great goddess of Egypt, that had been ravaged by the foreign rulers during the Hyksos occupation.

Ahmose was also the mother of the queen-pharaoh Hatshepsut.

Hatshepsut also erected two of her own obelisks inside of Thutmose I's hypostyle hall.

His body, however, may have been moved by Thutmose III into the tomb of Hatshepsut, KV20, which also contains a sarcophagus with the name of Thutmose I on it.

" Other vessels which bore the names and titles of Thutmose I had also been inscribed by his son and successor, Thutmose II, as well as fragments of stone vessels made for Hatshepsut before she herself became king as well as other vessels which bore her royal name of ' Maatkare ' which would have been made only after she took the throne in her own right.

Thutmose II fathered Neferure with Hatshepsut, but also managed to father a male heir, the famous Thutmose III, by a lesser wife named Iset before his death.

There is also the curious fact that Hatshepsut celebrated her Sed Jubilee in her Year 16 which von Beckerath believes occurred 30 years after the death of Thutmose I, her father, who was the main source of her claim to power.

The body of Hatshepsut has not yet been identified with certainty and the mummified liver or spleen found in DB320 might be all that remains of her, although it also has been suggested that one of two female mummies found in KV60 is she.

A chapel dedicated by User, vizier under Hatshepsut, is also located there.

It also is thought that behind it, Hatshepsut erected several smaller chapels and the Chambers of Hatshepsut.

Shown with the same pointed nose that was characteristic of depictions of Hatshepsut, Thutmose III also is pictured participating in the processions of the Beautiful Feast of the Valley and the Opet Festival.

Thutmose III ’ s mortuary temple also is depicted on the wall of the Red Chapel, providing evidence that the mortuary temple was built as early as the period of his co-regency with Hatshepsut.

Trade with other countries was re-established ; here trees transported by ship from Punt are shown being moved ashore for planting in Egypt — relief from Hatshepsut mortuary temple

During her reign, so much statuary was produced that almost every major museum in the world has Hatshepsut statuary among their collections ; for instance, the Hatshepsut Room in New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art is dedicated solely to some of these pieces.

The erasures were sporadic and haphazard, with only the more visible and accessible images of Hatshepsut being removed ; had it been more complete, we would not now have so many images of Hatshepsut.

A large, dry pomegranate was found in the tomb of Djehuty, the butler of Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt ; Mesopotamian cuneiform records mention pomegranates from the mid-Third millennium BC onwards.

In Ancient Egyptian religion, God's Wife of Amun was the highest ranking priestess ; this title was held by a daughter of the High Priest of Amun, during the reign of Hatshepsut, while the capital of Egypt was in Thebes during the second millennium BC ( circa 2160 BC ).

Gabolde highlighted, in his analysis, the consistently small number of surviving scarabs known for Thutmose II compared to Thutmose I and Hatshepsut respectively ; for instance, Flinders Petrie's older study of scarab seals noted 86 seals for Thutmose I, 19 seals for Thutmose II and 149 seals for Hatshepsut while more recent studies by Jaeger estimate a total of 241 seals for Thutmose I, 463 seals for Hatshepsut and only 65 seals for Thutmose II.

During the reign of Hatshepsut, a new architect, Senemut, would gain major commissions ; most notably the construction of her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri.

During his last year there he made an independent survey of many of the archaeological sites of the Delta and prepared a report on them ; during the reconstruction work carried out by the Polish Archeological Institute at the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari he was responsible for the epigraphic work.

Another jar from the same tomb — which was discovered in situ by a 1935 – 1936 Metropolitan Museum of Art expedition on a hillside near Thebes — was stamped with the seal of the ' God's Wife Hatshepsut ' while two jars bore the seal of ‘ The Good Goddess Maatkare ’</ ref > The dating of the amphorae, " sealed into the burial chamber by the debris from Senenmut's own tomb ," is undisputed which means that Hatshepsut was acknowledged as the king of Egypt by Year 7 of her reign.

* c. 1473 BC – 1458 BC – Funerary Temple of Hatshepsut, Deir el Bahri is built.

When working on the tombs the artisans stayed overnight in a camp overlooking the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut ( c. 1479 – 1458 BCE ) that is still visible today.

Most interestingly, a wooden face-piece from a coffin possibly destined for a male ( it seemingly had a place to fit a false beard ) was found – but the tomb contained only females, and Hatshepsut is known to have used the false beard.
