| − | Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thutmose 1. She became queen by marrying her half-brother, Thutmose 2 at the age of 12. When Thutmose 2 died, she ruled Egypt instead of Thutmose 3 because he was a baby at the time, however she became the co-leader of Egypt around 1473 BC with Thutmose 3 because of either a want for more power or a political crisis. The move to take power did not follow Egyptian custom, so she was a controversial queen and tried very hard to legitimate her power. She had herself portrayed as a male pharaoh with female symbols of power like a crown or scepter. She built a huge temple at Deir el-Bahri which is considered one of the greatest buildings of ancient Egypt. Hatshepsut also started the tradition of building obelisks. She also traded with other countries to get things like gold, ivory, and leopard skins. She let Thutmose rule as she came closer to death and when she died, her statues and monuments were destroyed in an attempt to ensure that the power would stay in the family of Thutmose without a female ruler. She became obscure, but her name was discovered at her temple in 1822. She helped to make Egypt an important civilization in the ancient world.
