One of ancient Egypt's most successful rulers, Hatshepsut reigns as pharaoh for over two decades, launching massive building projects and trade expeditions.
Hatshepsut initially serves as regent for her young stepson Thutmose III, but soon claims the full title of pharaoh — even commissioning statues of herself with the traditional false beard. She prioritizes trade over warfare, sending a famous expedition to the land of Punt that returns with gold, incense, and exotic animals. Her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri remains one of Egypt's most stunning architectural achievements.
