It is sometimes said, she ruled for her stepson Tutmosis III because he was too young. In the Egyptian ideal, a man should rule under the Divine Right of Kings which was a device to solve disputes about who should be 'Head-of-State' like Presidents of America or kings and queens of Britain, Norway, Thailand etc. The problem in Egypt was that after the Hyksos were expelled by the Ethiopians helping the Egyptians expel them, the two nations decided to form a United Kingdom of Egypt and Ethiopia to present a united front against future marauders and invaders from Asia. The Ethiopians had no qualms about a woman ruling as queen. The Egyptians did. When Thutmose I died, Thutmose II reigned with his wife and princess Hatshepsut at his side. He died early-on, so Hatshepsut and the Ethiopians, quiet reasonably under the covenant between the two nations, insisted she should continue ruling on her own. However, behind all this is the problem of false Egyptian chronology. These events did not take place in the 15th century BC but in the 10th Century BC. Solomon was king in Israel and Hatshepsut went to visit him. The Israelites called her Queen Sheba of Ophir (Auphirah or Africa). A Sheba was one who dwelled and ruled somewhere and a Soper was a scribe. Her name, either Sheba or Shepa (or Hat-sheba-sut/Hat-shep-sut), probably reflects both meanings although the root Semitic words do this anyway. As the Bible shows, it was King Saul of Israel who defeated the Amalekites or the 'Hyksos' who were so powerful at the time. Kings David and Solomon were therefore friendly with Ahmose, Thutmose I, Thutmose II and Hatshepsut. However, behind even all this, the Biblical account strongly suggests God organised events in such a way that these circumstances should arise. He did this because His Son Jesus referred to the Queen Sheba-Hatshepsut when He condemned the Jewish leaders who rejected Him. Jesus called her "The Queen of the South". Jesus' contemporary, although the man was probably just a child at the time, Josephus Flavius, wrote, "The Queen who came to see Solomon was ruler of Egypt and Ethiopia". He was quite correct despite modern editors' protests. Essentially, Queen Hatshepsut was 'The Queen of Sheba' although the Biblical Hebrew reads "Queen Sheba of Ophir". The enigma of a woman ruling highly male chauvinistic Egypt is solved by realising the "voice from a god" that she heard one day who requested her to "go to Punt, My Land, My Divine Land" or the "Holy Land". The voice must have been that of the God of Israel - Jehovah. The Bible says He is The One True God. The New Testament said the Son of God, Jesus, is "The Way, The Truth, The Life", i.e., He is the only way to God. Hatshepsut-Sheba realised Jehovah is the One True God. Who today realises Jesus' claims? The false Egyptology and its false chronology is being used today to get people to doubt the words of God and Jesus.

she was the daughter of Queen Ahmose, daughter of the Pharaoh and the pharaoh that controlled after Ahmose's father, Thutmose 1. She had two brothers and a sister who all died young, and a sickly younger half-brother who she married when they were very young.

Perhaps the most important part of Hatshepsut's legacy was her creation of a flourishing and stable Egypt through her highly successful foreign policy. Her military campaigns in both the north and the south augmented the extent of Egypt's influence on a vaster scale. The tomb inscription of Scribe Djehuty, I saw the collection of the booty of this mighty ruler from the vile Kush, who is deemed cowards' attests that Hatshepsut's military endeavors also contributed significantly to Egypt's economic prosperity.

Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thutmose I and his primary wife Ahmes. Her husband Thutmose II was the son of Thutmose I and a secondary wife named Mutneferet, who carried the title King's daughter and was probably a child of Ahmose I. Hatshepsut and Thutmose II had a daughter named Neferure. Thutmose II fathered Thutmose III with Iset, a secondary wife. Hatshepsut was the chief wife of Thutmose II, Thutmose III's father.

Hatshepsut meaning Foremost of Noble Ladies; was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. Under Hatshepsut's reign, Egypt prospered. Unlike other rulers in her dynasty, she was more interested in ensuring economic prosperity and building and restoring monuments throughout Egypt and Nubia than in conquering new lands. She built the temple Djeser-djeseru ("holiest of holy places"), which was dedicated to Amon and served as her funerary cult, and erected a pair of red granite obelisks at the Temple of Amon at Karnak, one of which still stands today. Hatshepsut also had one notable trading expedition to the land of Punt in the ninth year of her reign. The ships returned with gold, ivory and myrrh trees, and the scene was immortalized on the walls of the temple.
