Her inscriptions emphasize economic development and prosperity during her reign, as well as economic expansion such as the trading expedition into Punt. The increase in wealth during this period is reflected by her numerous building projects, which required materials and payment to workers, not possible if she wasn't successful in ensuring economic stability. ]]> 2018-06-26 23:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/beverley_parkes/hzoigsv1ti2a/wish/268655723 Aleksia https://padlet.com/beverley_parkes/hzoigsv1ti2a/wish/268655728 She passed onto Thutmose III a Egypt that was strong and successful]]> 2018-06-26 23:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/beverley_parkes/hzoigsv1ti2a/wish/268655728 Maria-Isabel https://padlet.com/beverley_parkes/hzoigsv1ti2a/wish/268655756

    • Her assumption of power during the regency and her efforts to present herself in male form was new to egypt
    • Aspects of her reign to do with religious matters can be considered 'innovative'
      • The Divine Birth relief is evidence of her trying to establish her close relationship with Amun
      • She stressed her role as both a spiritual and physical daughter of the god
      • She also introduced some new ideas in religion such as oracles, the growth of personal piety and more public celebration of religion.

    Prosperity:
    - extensive building programs

    Some indications include:
     - Thutmose III, led military campaigns to Gaza and Syria, whilst in co-regency
     -Thutmose III left on a campaign just prior Hatshepsut's death
     -study by Nims, revealed that defacement and destruction of monuments, were not done until 20yrs later
    -the skeleton of a body, claimed to be Hatshepsut's, was found. Examinations confirmed that it died of natural causes

    Destruction of monuments
    -Robins- Due to political expediency. Hatshepsut's reign, as a female king, was unnatural during this context. Her rule did not conform with Maat, and so Thutmose acted to strengthen the male succession to the throne
    -Redford- Due to political necessity. The achievements and claims by Hatshepsut was open to the public, and would overshadow Thutmose's  own legitimacy.]]>     2018-06-26 23:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/beverley_parkes/hzoigsv1ti2a/wish/268655946     Hailey hailey_carless https://padlet.com/beverley_parkes/hzoigsv1ti2a/wish/268655966 It is difficult to interpret the period of H’s rule as her successors excised her name from Egyptian history.
    • Thutmose III began defacing her monuments, removing her name and replacing it with his own name or Thutmose II or Thutmose I
    • Later kings such as Seti and Ramesses II deliberately excluded her name from the lists of Egyptian Kings
    • By the end of the 19th Dynasty (late 13th/early 12th century BC) there would probably have been no memory of her at all
    Written evidence is limited
    • There are references to her rule in some of her official’s tombs - Ineni
    • The temple of of Speos Artemidos at Beni Hasan contains an inscription in which H boasts of some of her achievements including:
      • The repairs to the temple at Cusae
      • Temples set up for Pakhet and Thoth
      • Fixing up destruction brought on by earlier “Asiatics” (the hyksos)

    - In depictions of her in reliefs, Gardiner stated that these were "wholly a new departure for a female to pose and dress as a man."

    • Archaeological work continues non-stop in Egypt and new discoveries are made frequently 
    • As archaeologists unravel new clues about H, these feed into the interpretations that historians develop
    • The techniques which archaeologists are now able to use are more scientifically-based
    • The way archaeologists operate today is different to methods of Howard-carter a century ago
    • Early interpretations of H were proposed by middle-aged white men writing in a time when conservative views regarding the role of women were prevalent
    • The rise of feminist history and the introduction of gender studies ha had an impact on the interpretation of H's reign
    Therefore modern interpretation of H's reign are as a result of modern technologies and methods of excavation and the rise of feminist history proposing the reign of H in a different light.

Some of it was of a new style such as the hypostyle hall at Karnak, some of its building on the earlier works of others.

    • Powerless Thutmose III saw Hatshepsut as power-hungry; classic evil stepmother, unable to do anything about her position and power

  • Hatshepsut was only a woman and could not have rules without a reliance on men such as Senenmut.
  • Hatshepsut was an evil, power-hungry woman which is why she posed as a man later in her reign.
  • It is not surprising that Thutmose III developed a great resentment towards Hatshepsut and sought to destroy her.
  • Hatshepsut was a failure in terms of military campaigning and building up the Egyptian Empire.
  • Hatshepsut's wearing of male royal attire such as the shendyt and the ceremonial false beard were deliberate attempts to fool people.

  • The use of Hatshepsut made of the priesthood and the noble officials was not unusual. All kings needed able administrators.
  • Female royal power was not unprecedented and some earlier kings had become quite reliant on their royal partners.
  • The evidence seems to suggest the Hatshepsut and Thutmose III worked wells together. He even led military campaigns during her reign.
  • There is evidence of at least four successful military campaigns, some of which were led by Thutmose III. Egypt was in good shape when Thutmose III began his imperial expansion.
  • In the wearing of male royal attire such as the shendyt and the ceremonial false beard Hatshepsut was merely following tradition.

    - However, she could also be considered to be not traditional as 2 previous queens had "usurped the kingship, but it was wholly a new departure for a female to pose and dress as a man."

  • The traditional view that Hatshepsut’s reign was devoid of military campaigning is no longer held by many
  • Her involvement in such things may not have been as extensive as some other kings but it did occur

The king could only be represented in one way, and that was through the male gender.
    Peter Dorman: Hatshepsut was not pretending to be a male, but rather "experimentation with iconography was prompted by the necessity of effective rule." To rule effectively, had to be regarded as a king by her people, which prompted her depictions as a male.
