For a number of reasons, Hatshepsut's reign as the female pharaoh of Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty during the New Kingdom is noteworthy. Her value to Egypt is shown by the titles given to her, titles such as "God's Wife, King's Great Wife whom he loves, Mistress of the Two Lands, Hatshepsut, may she live!". Under her leadership, the kingdom experienced a time of unheard-of stability and prosperity, a number of significant construction projects, and significant religious growth.

The accomplishments
Hatshepsut ruled during the Golden Age of the New Kingdom. A portion of her success can be attributed to the time in which she reigned, in a time of stability and prosperity rather than the upheaval
Queen Hatshepsut, considered by many to be one of the most successful pharaohs of all time. She served as queen alongside her husband, Thutmose II. After his death, she took upon herself the role of pharaoh, thus becoming the first female pharaoh in Egyptian history. She ruled peacefully and played a huge role in increasing trade for Egypt. However, until 2007, no one knew the whereabouts of her body.
Pharaohs during the 30th dynasty maintained Egypt’s independence. During this time they were still battling the Persians in alliance with the Sparta and Athens. Egypt tried to reassemble the new kingdom by invading Syria. After many attempts the Persians finally reconquered Egypt (341B.C.). The Persians did not rule Egypt for very long.
Hatshepsut’s Story Hatshepsut was a very significant individual in Ancient Egypt, as she believed that if she chose to live her life as a pharaoh and not a queen, she would get more respect like her father Tuthmosis l did. Hatshepsut was able to be the first female pharaoh and rule successfully. Although Hatshepsut wasn’t the only female pharaoh, she was the most common known one in ancient Egypt. The purpose of this report is to inform the reader about how Hatshepsut ruled and all her successful achievements that helped to shape Ancient Egyptian society. Hatshepsut had many achievements such as being the first female pharaoh in her dynasty and in ancient Egypt, She ruled for a successful 22 years before dying.
Throughout history, Egypt was one of the greatest societies for many reasons. The Egyptian society lasted from 3100 BCE to 30 BCE. It was ruled by multiple pharaohs, one of the most important being Queen Hatshepsut as she was the first female pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. In addition, the geography of the region helped the Egyptian people immensely as the Nile River provided a way of transportation improved soil conditions. Lastly, their architectural advancements made their society great as it created a way of spiritual life for all people.
Thutmose III Thutmose III was a great pharaoh and a great military leader. Thutmose created the egyptian wealth. Thutmose III was a great general and never lost a battle. Thutmose also had great qualities of a good ruler for egypt. Thutmose spent the long years of his aunt Hatshepsut’s reign training in her army.
Maat, that crucial cosmic order, was important to Hatshepsut.” This shows that by doing something that was favorable in the people shows that Hatshepsut was a good ruler. My last supporting detail that shows that Hatshepsut was an effective ruler because she had the traits of one. “women had not ruled long or well, and neither had had the audacity to proclaim herself pharaoh.
Kadesh is a Hittite territory known for influential trade centers and beautiful cities. The Hittite empire takes pride in each of their provinces; therefore the Hittite warriors have a natural instinct to widen their vast territory and increase connections across the ancient world. A battle held in a Hittite territory would signify greater advantages for them; however, King Ramses displayed exceptional courage and confidence, which led him towards the battle of Kadesh, even with the risk of terrible loss. Egypt functioned according to the law of Ma'at. Ma’at held Egyptian matters superior to anything; it required the king to execute laws for the prosperity Egypt.
Hatshepsut was an effective religious leader. She credited her place to Amun through her Heavenly Birth. She followed the god’s command by acquiring an expedition to Punt and gave gifts to the gods; she gave praise to Amun for her military victories and triumphs. Hatshepsut also kept religious festivals and contributed numerous respect and influence to the Amun priesthood. Hatshepsut made sure Egypt was safe after her death.
Hatshepsut was intelligent because she knew what to do when Egypt needed a regent. Hatshepsut herself decided that she was perfect for this job. She helped Tuthmosis III rule, and slowly took over Egypt, because she wanted to make a slow change, not a sudden one. This is discussed in paragraph eleven, when the author states,”...appeared in public ceremonies first in behind, then beside, and eventually in front of her nephew.” Hatshepsut could have just taken over Egypt, but she wanted to prove herself equal as any other pharaoh.
Yes, she served politically as well, but there was no other motive. She only wanted to make Egypt an eminence amongst the other countries, and to follow her family’s legacy as the dynasty of Egypt’s rulers. Her main goals were to unify her country by stabilizing it and to enlarge her territories. She also managed to take all the power from her brother(s) and become the sole ruler of Egypt. This is important because it proves that she really was an ambitious leader.
Learning about the Accomplishments of Ramses II There are many well-known Ancient Egyptian pharaohs, but one of the most popular is Ramses II. This isn't really surprising because he had accomplished a lot of things during his time. He also had an unusually long reign — he was in power for 67 years — which not only earned him recognition but also turned him into a god. (Egyptian pharaohs became gods if they stayed in power for 30 years.)
a) Explain how Hatshepsut used titles and royal images to assert herself as Pharaoh. Hatshepsut played a vital position in the dynastic succession with her role as queen, ultimately progressing to pharaoh. During the reign of Thutmose II, Hatshepsut had the duties of a great royal wife, later advancing as regent for the king Thutmose III upon his father’s death. Due to Thutmose III being at a premature age to rule unaccompanied, she became accountable for managing the affairs of Egypt and was later crowned pharaoh and became co-regent alongside Thutmose III, between the years 2 and 7 of his reign.
He had struck hard and fast, crushing all opposition. Having sized Thebes, he had taken he throne name Thutmose and proclaimed himself Pharaoh, then having put Upper Egypt under his control he left a large garrison in Thebes and returned to Napata. As impressive as this sounds it really achieved a little more than reaffirming his claim to the throne and fixing a territorial boundary. Indeed Piankhi’s father Kashta had exercised a powerful influence in Thebes were he had managed to get Piankhi’s sister Amenirdis installed as gods wife of Amun, the highest priestess in the cult.
