🇭​🇮​🇸​🇹​🇴​🇷​🇾​ Hatshepsut was the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Thutmose II and the fifth Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, ruling first as regent, then as queen regnant from c. 1479 BC until c. 1458 BC. She was Egypt's second certain queen regnant, the first being Sobekneferu/Nefrusobek in the Twelfth Dynasty.

At Thutmose II’s death, his queen and sister Hatshepsut had only a young daughter; but a minor wife had borne him a boy, who was apparently very young at his accession. This son, Thutmose III " ruled 1479–26 BCE", later reconquered Egypt’s Asian empire and became an outstanding ruler. During his first few regnal years, Thutmose III theoretically controlled the land, but Hatshepsut governed as regent. #hatshepsut #Thutmose #ancientegypt #ancient #ancienthistory #egypt #egyptology https://www.egypttales.com/2021/05/egypt-queen-hatshepsut-and-thutmose-iii.html
