    Hatshepsut Research Paper

    While the concept of a female ruler as a Queen Regent or Co- regent was not foreign to New Kingdom practices there was no provision for a female pharaoh in Egyptian tradition. Hatshepsut’s portrayal as male was unprecedented. ‘After Hatshepsut regency for about seven years the political situation apparently changed and a bomb shell exploded’ . Hatshepsut dressed herself in the clothes of a man, put on the false beard that pharaohs traditionally wore and proclaimed her self ‘king of Egypt’. Hatshepsut portrayed her self as male not only in her physical appearance. But also in her Royal title, inscriptions and in monuments.…

    Queen Hatshepsut DBQ

    Queen Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh who ruled Egypt. She reigned during 1473 – 1458 B.C.E. She first served as co-ruler with her stepson Tuthmosis III, but later took power as a pharaoh herself. Although she was a great ruler, the idea of having a female ruler was unfamiliar to Egyptians and it unsettled them. As an effort to present her in unthreatening guise to make Egyptians feel more at ease, artists depicted Queen Hatshepsut as a male wearing the stylized beards that are traditionally associated with pharaohs. This gesture shows how females are subordinate to males because they did not feel comfortable that their nation was being led by a female. That is why most societies turned to patriarchal rule. This gesture also showed how they did not respect Queen Hatshepsut because they altered her image as a male. Many societies indicated women’s subordination to men’s status through documents showing how women were not able to participate in government duties, not being allowed a proper education and the inequality between slave men and slave women.…

    chapter 3 questions AP world history

    Egypt referred to not the territory embraced by the modern state of Egypt, but to the ribbon of land bordering the lower third of the Nile between the Mediterranean and the river's first cataract near Aswan. Cataracts are an unnavigable stretch of rapids and waterfalls. The Sahara became increasingly arid, cultivators flocked to the Nile Valley and established societies that depended on intensive agriculture. Egyptians were able to take better advantage of the Nile's annual floods than the Nubians to the south because of their broad floodplains. They turned Egypt into an especially productive agricultural region that was capable of supporting a much larger population than were Nubian lands. The Greek Historian Herodotus proclaimed Egypt the "Gift of the Nile" because of its prosperity. Migrants from the Red Sea Hills in northern Ethiopia traveled down the Nile Valley and introduced to Egypt and Nubia the practice of collecting wild grains , a language ancestral to Coptic (ancient Egypt) to the lower reaches of the Nile Valley. Sudanic cultivators and herders moved down the Nile as the climate grew hotter and drier introducing Egypt and Nubia to African crops like watermelon and gourds, while Mesopotamians wheat and barley also came. They built dikes to protect their fields from floods and catchment basins to store irrigation water.…

    Hatshepsut

    During the New Kingdom Egypt, a female pharaoh named Hatshepsut ascended to the most powerful position in the country- the title of a pharaoh. Despite living in a patriarchy society, Hatshepsut was able to gain support from the Egyptian people through the use of propaganda such as the story of Divine Birth and Coronation which was carved on the north wall of the middle colonnade of her Deir el Bahari mortuary temple. In both scenes, she further legitimated her throne by using her divine birth and royal blood-line. As consequence, Hatshepsut gradually rose to power, from a co-regent to pharaoh, became the first female ever to claim the Egyptian throne.…

    Hatshepsut's Roles In Ancient Egypt

    As rulers, there are only three female Pharaohs in the whole ancient Egypt and Hatshepsut was the first one, though the most known is Cleopatra. “Hatshepsut offers us no explanation for her unprecedented assumption of power. It seems that there was no opposition to her elevation, although, of course, it is very unlikely that any such opposition would have been recorded” (Tyldesley, 96). In this book, it also presents a sentence from her tomb that was translated “I have never slumbered as one forgetful, but have made strong what was decayed. I have raised up what was dismembered, even from the first time when the Asiatics were in Avaris of the North Land, with roving hordes in the midst of them overthrowing what had been made; they ruled without Re… I have banished the abominations of the gods, and the earth has removed their footprints” (Tyldesley, 100).…

When her husband died 15 years after becoming pharaoh and the throne was passed to his son Thutmose III, born to Isis, a lesser harem queen. As Thutmose III was an infant, Hatshepsut acted as regent for the young king. But by the end of his seventh year, she had been crowned king and adopted a full royal titulary. According to one of her father’s courtiers, ‘Hatshepsut carried on the affairs of The Two Lands according to her own ideas. Egypt was made to work in submission for her’ . As pharaoh, Hatshepsut had to wear the traditional male regalia of Egyptian kings, the Khat head cloth, topped with a uraeus, the traditional false beard, and shendyt kilt. This is to show authority to foreign rulers, respect to tradition and a way to gain acceptance among the population.…

    If the Hyksos did not control Egypt for thirty years, Egypt would have never been as successful as they were after the Hyksos was expelled from the throne. During their control, Hyksos absorbed Egypt’s native ways, and maintained their institutions while also adopting their language. At the time, Egyptians viewed Hyksos’s as foreigners, and after three decades of fighting them off, Hyksos was expelled from Egypt by Kamos and Ahmos, and the New Kingdom of Egypt was born. During this era, the Egyptians extended their territory into Nubia. They gained timber, copper, gold, and wealth from taxes. They built a buffer zone to protect themselves against foreign attacks, and controlling Nubia spread the Egyptian language and culture from the support of local rulers.…
