| Question | Answer |
| What were the key aspects of Hatshepsut's reign? | - first female king of Egypt, her legitimacy to the throne and how people depicted her was a threat to her throne "her divine birth scene depicts her with the god Amun as daughter of a god" - trading expedition to Punt - building projects - religion - Amun Re cult, a lot of evidence of close relationship with Amun - relationship with Senenmut - he was her closest adviser and confidante, conflicting views on intimate relationship, helped her become king of Egypt - co regency with Thutmose III - military campaigns - secured borders, controlled Nubia, equipped army |
| Expedition to Punt | one of her "greatest achievements", increased the growth and employment of the Egyptians, provided raw materials, widened contacts |
| Building Projects | mortuary temple at Deir el Bahri, repairing temples, obelisks at Karnak, cliff temple dedicated to the lion goddess, Pakhet, at Speos Artemidos Redford states " Hatshepsut's top priority appears to have been her building program." (mortuary temple) |
| Evidence for Hatshepsut's relationship with Amun Re | - divine birth scene with Amun in her temple at Deir el Bahri - mortuary temple became a cult temple to Amun - Amun benefited from her trading expedition to Punt, Amun received all the tribute, Amun promised her success for future expeditions - contributed to the prestige of the Amun priesthood - priests of Amun wielded great power as wealth of the temple increased |
| Co regency with Thutmose III | Two views on his relationship with her 1. he resented her and was waiting for an opportunity to overthrow her 2. welcomed guidance when young, did not complain against Hatshepsut. They shared monuments and stelae, showed respect but Hatshepsut always depicted in front of Thutmose |
| The fate of Hatshepsut and her monuments | Historians views on Hatshepsut's death: 1. Wilson, Steindorff, Seele believe that "she came to what we may well believe was an unnatural end." Her mummy has not been found, but no evidence suggests she had an unnatural death Views on her monuments: Some time after her death Hatshepsut's names, titles and images were erased from the walls of the temples and replaced with those of her father Thutmose I, her husband, Thutmose II, and stepson Thutmose III. Her name was absent from all later lists of kings, statues smashed. Vengeance of Thutmose III? 1. Robins "(Thutmose's actions) could be explained by assuming that Hatshepsut had died naturally and that Thutmose felt no resentment against her." 2. Redford "Thutmose was motivated no so much by a genuine hatred as by political necessity." Believes that he allowed certain images of Hatsheput and cartouches to remain "she was his own flesh." |
| The Legacy of Hatshepsut "the female Horus" | - created a stable, prosperous and secure Egypt - maintained control of Egypt for over 21 years - strength of her personality, loyal support of a group of high officials, effective use of propoganda - growth of an empire - increased wealth and power of Egypt - one of the most powerful pharaohs of New Kingdom Egypt |
