SPEAKER_03: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today's leader was one of the few female pharaohs in ancient Egypt, and one of its most successful pharaohs overall. Ruling for over 20 years, she led Egypt through a period of prosperity, completed ambitious building projects, and increased trade with surrounding lands. She's sometimes called the first great woman of history. Let's talk about Hatshepsut. Hatshepsut was born in around 1507 BCE to the 18th Dynasty Egyptian king, Tutmosa I, and his primary wife. Very little is known about her early childhood. Around the age of 12, Hatshepsut was married to her half-brother, Tutmosa II, who was a younger son of Hatshepsut's father and his secondary wife. Tutmosa II had three older brothers, so he wasn't originally next in line for the throne, but each of his older brothers died before coming of age. As the eldest living son of Tutmosa I, Tutmosa II ascended to the throne around 1492 BCE. Hatshepsut became his primary wife and queen. She gave birth to a daughter, but never had a son to inherit the throne. When Tutmosa II died around 1479 BCE, his eldest son, Tutmosa III, was named king. Tutmosa III was the eldest son of a lower harem queen and was only an infant when he took power. As such, Hatshepsut acted as regent for the baby. This was a fairly common arrangement at the time. But by Tutmosa III's seventh year in power, Hatshepsut herself had been crowned king and was given the full titles and regalia of a traditional pharaoh. Technically, she co-ruled with the young Tutmosa III, but there was no question about who the primary ruler really was. It's unclear exactly how Hatshepsut gained that level of power and how she convinced the Egyptian elite to accept a female pharaoh. It's generally thought that she spent years promoting loyal officials into major positions of power, and they in turn supported her bid for the throne. During Hatshepsut's reign, Egypt enjoyed a period of peace with its neighbors. She went on a short, successful military campaign in Nubia when she first came to power. After that, her government's foreign policy was almost entirely focused on trade. Scenes on the walls of Hatshepsut's Deir al-Bahari temple show trade expeditions and imports of valuables like gold, animal furs, ebony, and spices. As part of their duties, Egyptian pharaohs were expected to take on major building projects and restore the buildings of former pharaohs that had gone into disrepair. In this regard, Hatshepsut didn't buck the norm. She took on a massive building program that included a temple to the god Amun-Re in Thebes, a full remodeling of her father's hall, and the addition of her own shrine at the great Karnak Temple complex, and a beautiful temple cut out of rock at Beni Hassan, among others. Hatshepsut's greatest building achievement of all was the Deir al-Bahari temple. It was meant to serve as a living memorial and temple that would continue to be used by her subjects after her death. For her actual burial spot, Hatshepsut added on to her father's tomb in the Valley of the Kings so she could be buried next to him. As Hatshepsut got older, she gave her co-ruler, Tutmosa III, more power and a larger role in state government. After Hatshepsut died around 1458 BCE, Tutmosa III ruled alone for more than 30 years. During his rule, he tried to remove all traces of Hatshepsut's existence. He removed statues of her and even wiped her name off the official list of Egyptian kings. Modern scholars originally thought that this must have been an act of revenge, but it's now believed that it probably had more to do with cleaning up the line of succession. It's worth noting that other pharaohs did similar things to their predecessors, including scrubbing building inscriptions and claiming the buildings as their own. Because of this campaign of erasure, Hatshepsut became essentially unknown to history until 1822, when the newfound ability to understand hieroglyphics finally allowed archaeologists and scholars to read the descriptions at her temple and rediscover this incredible pharaoh.
