After the death of Thutmose II, Hatshepsut was unable to realize his ambition to become a pharaoh. She arranged for a 10-year-old boy born to Thutmose II and his concubine Isis to marry her daughter Nevrulli and succeed him to the throne for Thutmose III. As the regent, he has full authority to manage the affairs of the state. Thutmose III was the son of Pharaoh Thutmose II (who was thought to be the half-brother of Thutmose II).
Thutmose III grew up and was ambitious and unwilling to be a puppet anymore. As a result, Hatshepsut exiled Thutmose III to a remote place before he reached adulthood (16 or 18 years old, i.e., 6) and officially took power.
At this point, Hatshepsut had everything to become pharaoh, and it was only up to him to break the tradition that women could not be in power. So, she and the monks fabricated a life story and claimed to be the daughter of the sun god Amun: the sun god gave birth to a daughter with the queen in the form of Thutmose I in order to rule Egypt for her descendants, and now this woman has endured hardships and can be the pharaoh who rules Egypt.
In order to show that he could become a pharaoh, Hatshepsut wore a false beard, dressed in men's clothing, a corset, and a scepter, and was extremely majestic. Even so secluded that very few people have ever seen her in person, and her true appearance is as mysterious as her legend.
She also placed many gold plates on top of the temple's stele to reflect the sun's rays to prove to the world her intimacy with the sun god Amun. She then began to disguise herself as a man, ordering everyone to address her by male pronouns. Hatshepsut became the first and only female pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Egypt and the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
When she became Pharaoh, she ruled the country carefully, stopped Egypt's foreign wars, thus shaking Egypt's rule in Syria and Palestine, but without the effects of the war, the people's lives were greatly improved, the end of the war allowed Egypt to develop active trade ties with its neighbors, which made Egypt very prosperous and prosperous during her time, and in order to reward the monks in the temple and make her rule more legitimate, she restored many ancient buildings and temples, including the Temple of Silence in Thebes. And presented to the temple 4 stone obelisks with a height of more than 30 meters to praise the sun god Amun.
In the last years of his reign, Hatshepsut appointed his stepson, the deposed Pharaoh Thutmose III, as commander-in-chief of the army.
In the Mutiny, Thutmose III mutinied, in which Hatshepsut was killed, along with her lover, the high priest of Amun, Senmut, and her daughter, Nevrulli, the queen of Thutmus III. It is also believed that Hatshepsut died of poisoned alcohol.
After his death, Hatshepsut was buried in the Valley of the Kings. In 1903, Egyptian archaeologist Carter found two coffins in a small tomb in the Valley of the Kings.
Archaeologists have long suspected that of the two mummies found by Carter, the coffin was Hatshepsut's wet nurse, and she was lying on the ground, because "her" had her right arm bent over her chest, a position reserved for royals.
The British "Daily Telegraph" reported that the Supreme Council of Egyptian Antiquities, sponsored by the American Exploration and Communication Company, joined a number of international archaeologists to carry out research to find the mummy of Hatshepsut. The two mummies found by Carter became the focus of research.
Archaeologists found a tooth in a box marked with Hatshepsut's name during the excavation, and after CT scanning, the archaeologists were pleasantly surprised to find that the tooth matched the missing molars in the mummy's mouth in the coffin. After further DNA comparison, archaeologists determined that the mummy was the mummy of Hatshepsut, which had been searched for years.
So what I guessed was the opposite of what I had guessed. The Egyptian archaeological community believes that this discovery is the most significant archaeological discovery in Egypt since the discovery of the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922, believing that it will shock the world.
Somehow, Thutmose III, twenty years after he actually became pharaoh, hammered out most of the words and images of Hatshephardt engraved on the monument. Archaeological investigations have revealed that these names and images were not destroyed immediately after the death of the female pharaoh.
Taking advantage of the turmoil in the Egyptian royal family, Syria and Palestine, the northernmost parts of the empire, declared their independence and temporarily freed themselves from Egyptian rule.
Thutmose III, reigned: years. The time when he really became a pharaoh: years.
When Thutmose became pharaoh, he was only 10 years old and regent of Hatshepsut.
Towards the end of adulthood (16 or 18 years old), he was exiled to a remote place by his stepmother, Hatshepsut, who became the pharaoh of Egypt.
Thutmose III grew up in the shadow of Hatshepsut, and gradually grew up in a complex state of mind of fear, hostility, and some admiration for his mother.
Hatshepsut appointed Thutmose III as commander-in-chief of the army a few years before his death.
In that year, Thutmose III staged a mutiny, killed his stepmother Hatshepsut, as well as her lover and daughter, and seized the throne of Egypt, becoming the sixth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
During the reign of Hatshepsut, there were no wars in Egypt, and neighboring countries paid tribute to Egypt every year. After his death, the situation faced by Thutmose III in the early days of his reign was still very serious, and the political situation in the country was unstable at the time of the replacement of the old and the new.
The princes of Kadesh and Makdu had united, including the kings of all the cities of Syria and Palestine, who had rebelled from Egypt and formed an anti-Egyptian alliance. They raised a large army.
Kadesh are descendants of the Hyksos who withdrew from Egypt.
In May, the armies of the kings of these cities, under the command of King Kadesh, had captured the fortress of Mejidhu, which was located on the northern slopes of the Carmel Mountains, enough to block the road from Egypt to the Euphrates Valley.
Thutmose III was not discouraged by the many attacks, he quickly mobilized his army, stabilized the situation in the country, and immediately launched an expedition into Syria and Palestine. Thutmose III led the Egyptian army through the desert to the city of Gazis, which was still loyal to Egypt. He decided to venture across the valley and attack the city of Megiddo at a military council.
