Hatshepsut (; also Hatchepsut; Egyptian: ḥꜣt-špswt "Foremost of Noble Ladies"; or archaically Hatasu c. 1507–1458 BC) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. As the principal wife of Thutmose II, Hatshepsut initially ruled as regent to Thutmose III. While Thutmose III had inherited the throne at about two years old, Hatshepsut continued to rule by asserting her lineage as the daughter and only child of Thutmose I and his primary wife, Ahmose. Hatshepsut assumed the position of pharaoh or king c. 1478 or 1479 BC and ruled until 1458 BC, the year of her death.
Hatshepsut's reign is well-known for increased prosperity, large-scale construction projects such as the Karnak Temple Complex, Speos Artemidos, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and Red Chapel of Hatshepsut (Chapelle Rouge). Hatshepsut and her supporters used traditional religious beliefs to re-enforce her role as pharaoh and king, despite these being considered men's roles.
After her death, she was not mentioned in official accounts of Egyptian historiography by her successors, possibly due to sibling rivalry, political expediency, or due to her gender.
