Last year I did a paper comparing Hatshepsut and Akhenaten's ruling styles, and came to the conclusion that she was definitely a better leader. This is due to the fact that she didn't piss off the Egyptians for about 2 generations because she destroyed their culture to instead make her the supreme all power god-like-figure, which inevitably went wrong and her son to apologise on her behalf. As well as NOT doing that, she strengthened Egypt's connection with the surrounding civilizations and this enormously benefited Egypt economically, cultrally and socially. Long story short, she was really cool. I got 100% 😉

In some paintings there are women that have a dress that has 1 diagonal strap holding it up instead but the paintings also depict the dresses as clinging to the body when in reality they would have been a bit looser (linen isn't elastic) so that may have simply been artistic license.

I think she was basically taking on the queenly duties while her mother and half-brother took on the pharaoh's duties. Egyptians were big on duality and the need for a balance of masculine and feminine energies so when Hatshepsut took on the masculine role, they needed someone to fill the feminine. As the eldest daughter of the former queen and Thumose II, she was likely the best and only candidate for that job.

Well, technically, Hatshepsut's heir was Thumose III, part of the point of a co-regency is to establish the line of succession- the unusual part was that the older member became pharaoh after the younger. I believe there were plans to marry Neferure to Thumose III and make her queen in that capacity but like you said, she died young and we don't have records of her having a kid by him or marrying him as far as I can remember. Arguably, her death is the reason Thumose had to go around establishing his and his heir's credentials by defacing Hatshepsut as it meant the superior bloodline claim was lost to both of them (ie, Hatshepsut and Neferure were the daughters of pharaoh and the queen, as was arguably Hapshetsut's mother, while both Thumose and his heir were descended from 'lesser' women).

Many people are not able to grow a sufficiently magnificent beard. Even worse this genetic disease disproportionately affects women which are horribly oppressed by society. The government should provide everyone affected with a prosthetic beard! And everyone should confront their beardless friends about this disease.

In fact we had her mummy since 1903, Howard Carter opened the tomb KV60 and found two mummies, an anonymous one with no jewelries or gold, and the mummy of a woman, Satré, Hatchespout's nurse. So they brought back Satré and ditched the other mummy on the ground.... It was the mumy of Hatchespout ^^' She was probably buried with her father in another tomb, at the beginning, but then her step-son relocated his great-father and put his mother-in-law in the tomb of a servant XD Apparently, from the analysis of the mummy, she died at 50, with a cancer of bones with multiple meta-stasis, but it's an abscess in teeths that killed her. And she was probably obese at the end ^^'

There isn't much proof of Senenmut and Hatshepsut having relations, however there is a pretty famous bit of scandalous graffiti of the two of them in copulation in a cave near the mortuary temple Djeser-Djeseru at Deir el Bahri. So it was even rumored during her reign. We'll never know of course but gossip is always entertaining.

This is problematic. They didn't try very hard to erase her. We have examples of Egyptian royalty that were erased from history. Her name wasn't erased from everything, her temple was simply taken apart (not destroyed), and they didn't do a very good job of chiseling her off her monuments. We have examples of brutal erasures from history. Hatshepsut wasn't one of them. Take King Tut's wife, who we know ruled after his death. We know nothing about her after Tut died save two things: we have a ring that says she married the high priest (which had fallen into a crack in Tut's tome, so it was easily overlooked) and we have a letter she sent to a foreign king saying she wanted to marry one of his sons (and that she was afraid.) That's all we have. There's nothing on her in Egypt, besides that ring. She was brutally wiped out of history.

Ghostbl33d - This is an issue that takes more in-depth knowledge on the subject and not a wiki perusal. Hatshepsut was the eldest daughter of the great wife. In Egyptian royalty, the royal blood was passed on through the female. The theory was that you might not be able to tell who the father was, but it's hard to miss who the mother of a child is with it coming out of her and all. This is the reason for Egyptian incest. The eldest daughter of the great wife is what made a Pharaoh. To compare this to the Ptolomies is ridiculous. Regardless, she had a daughter and her hubby had a child with one of his lesser wives. These two eventually married. The problem was that her hubby was very sickly so few people believed he was the father of either child. To further compound the issue, when he died, Hatshepsut took regent. This was unusual. The mother of the next Pharaoh would've been the one who took regent (the theory that the mother's power derived from her son so she'd protect him.) This led to his shakey claim and was probably the reason Hatshepsut was able to be coregent for so long. After her death, it's thought that he erased enough of her monuments to make a *point* and when he got the legitimacy, he stopped. They were peaceful co-rulers. He actually controlled the armies and could've dethroned her at any time. Here is another queen that was erased. You've heard of Nefertiti (her daughter would marry King Tut and go missing eventually too)? She was married to a very controversial Pharaoh (at the time) who tried to make Ancient Egypt a monotheist religion with the worship of a sun god. She outlived her hubby but she vanishes from the record completely. We know she must've reigned but there's absolutely nothing on her. All I'm saying is that Ancient Egypt knew how to erase people. They did it all the time. Erasing people from the historical record was an actual punishment in ancient times. It was called 'Damnatio memoriae' in ancient Rome. To leave Hatshepsut's personal temple (the red one, not the one mentioned in the video) intact, just deconstructed, is very telling. If he'd wanted to erase and destroy her, he would've destroyed that.

I don't know if it's creepy. It makes sense we'd see little evidence of a person back then, time is enough of an eraser for history - add motive to it and the fact that it'd be easier to "erase" someone back then and we likely know paltry amounts of the truth in regards to the big picture. We know a lot of history, but there'll always be more of it undiscovered or gone for good than we can understand (like an iceberg below the surface). The internet is putting a halt to these blindspot trends, our present times - when eventually added to the annals of history - will dwarf what people in the future will know of the past in other eras.

Love your Videos, a lot of effort is obviously spent on them. Keep up the good work!

You left out the fact that I’m Eyptian mythology they believed that if there was no record of you in this life, then you are erased from the next (I’m ptetty sure that’s true, but don’t take it for 100%) if so, then they weren’t only trying to erase her from history, but also trying to completely wipe out her existence in both worlds.

Yay new video!

First

Hatshepsut was NOT the first female pharaoh. This title belongs to Sobekneferu, a gal from 12th dynasty noone remembers, because she ruled for the short time during the downfall of the Middle Kingdom. Really, Hatshepsut was so widely erased because apart from being a woman, she was also pretty succesful as a ruler and Tuthmose really, really didn't want any competition when it came to popularity.

See the footnote at 0:41. Sobekneferu might have been in part who that's referring too. In any case, getting into a debate about this would be rather pedantic.

Egyptology is one ofy favorite subjects to learn about! The history and mythology of this culture never ceases to amaze me! Completely unrelated, would it be possible to do some abridged videos on the works of H.P. Lovecraft? I would love to hear you both narrate what you've read!!

Based on the background you gave, Hatshepsut pretty much had to be exceptional to become Pharaoh, because otherwise nobody's gonna go for the borderline blasphemy (or maybe not even borderline, I don't know my Ancient Egyptian religion well enough to know just how bad a blasphemy that would be) of the embodiment of Horus being a woman for anything less than exceptional. I suppose she could have been exceptional in a corrupt, "I promised the right people power" kind of way, but especially in light of what she's known for, it makes a certain kind of sense. Obviously we don't know exactly how it went down, but imagine this: Hatshepsut: To do the big things we need to get done, I need to be pharaoh, not regent. Priest: What?! That's not right, that doesn't make sense! BLASPHEMY!! H: Buddy, hold on, haven't I been good to you? I just want to restore and build a bunch of temples, and bring in trade to enrich all the temple coffers! P: Look, you're right, you've been good so far, so maybe we can overlook this blasphemy if you just drop it. H: No, no, I've thought it through, look, I don't have to be the literal embodiment of Horus, I can just be... co-pharaoh... and maybe a symbolic embodiment of Horus or something. Look! I'll dress like a man, totally symbolic, in total piety, I won't be fooling the gods or anything, just... a humble stand-in so I can do a job for them. P: Well... Like I said, we don't know how it went down, and it might not have been thinking like this at all, but it easily could have been that this conversation essentially played out over a period of years, giving us the Hatshepsut we know now. Maybe she sold the priests on her being co-pharaoh by arguing that her massive project of temple construction and other things for the gods themselves were being held back by her inability to perform certain symbolic administrative and religious duties. But the overarching point is that it makes sense that she was a pretty great pharaoh because that's one of the few ways that anybody would tolerate her being pharaoh.

Well, I mean, when you're a fully grown woman with a proven track record of getting shit done and your only competition is a five year old boy who can't perform all of the religious rites necessary to ensure the Nile's yearly flooding or ensuring that the Chief God, Amun/Amun-Ra, was reborn everyday, eventually something's going to give. There is an interesting theory out there that there was some kind of palace intrigue that prompted Hatshepsut to take action to protect her stepson's throne (his queen would be her daughter, fyi). It's only a theory since Egyptians really didn't write down that side of things but yeah. Initially, no one seemed to have a problem because she's shown as basically herself, dressed in feminine garb, etc. There is even a myth created to explain her extraordinary circumstances- honestly, go look it up, it is a fascinating piece of propaganda- and her initial reigning names fully embrace her as the feminine piece of Ra and merge her with Ma'at, a female concept of justice, truth, and order. But over time, her statues and reliefs become more masculine and warnings are put out about how to speak about the pharaoh, etc, so it's likely that people were willing to play along while they had a boy pharaoh but once he grew up, people started questioning why she hadn't stood down yet.

Thank you so much for doing this, I've got a project on it soon and this will help for the basics.

I learn more on here then i do in school.....ITS BECAUSE OF THESE VIDEOS I EARNED AN A+ ON MY FINALS!!!!

2:30 I recognized that music immediately (at this point, at least; I realized a bit later it had been playing for the whole video) and it made me so happy.

thank you for making this I had to write an essay on her at school and this made her story make way more sense keep the great work up!

The Age of Mythology music still throws me off every time.

JolieTRA //TheRebelAngle Egypt is one of the top places, next to Rome and London, that I would love to travel to. Given the prices, as you mentioned, as well as the political climate may prevent me from doing that any time soon. It’s unfortunate, because as far as history goes, Egypt is one of the most historical places in the world.

Hatshepsut was always my favorite pharaoh. I remember learning about her in elementary school and always admiring her. I loved your video, you and red should consider doing an anime style (like your characters) manga book about famous periods of history. I vote for Hatshepsut!

As others have pointed out, I had a gush of positive feelings hearing Chocolate Outline from Age of Mythology while you talked (though the music was maybe a little loud over your voice). I also loved the "learning his A, B, squiggles" line. Pretty great.

She was just hit with an ancient case of SCP-2111. It's what happens when you spend 300 years fighting the Daevas, they use some rather unorthodox weapons.

Those big 3D triangles were a hoax!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend said this when she saw what I was watching. I need different friends.

I have heard of Hatshepsut a bit before and did some research on her but that was a LONG time ago. I was so thrilled that you did a video of her Blue. \(^o^)/

I love this channel I am eary for the first time

Thanks for the video :) I love Egyptian history and I would have studied it if it weren't for the "I need to get a job" thing. But it remains my hobby.

Great video as always. By the way, Blue, could you please make a video about the Ancient Celts?

You guys should make a video for the whole Demeter/Persephone/Hades thing.

"She became Pharaoh through unconventional means..." That's usually the start of a good story, though often not one about a good leader. (No offense, but "unconventional" rarely means "legal"...even if it qualifies as "not illegal" in this case.)

not necessarily, unconventional just means out of the norm. For example, if a president was assassinated, that would qualify as unconventional circumstance for the VP. And of couse, at this time a woman being a leader of a country in of itself would be considered unconventional.

Ironically Thutmose III also became an extremely competent ruler...but he was a warrior pharaoh, to the point where some people call him "The Napoleon of Ancient Egypt". Apparently while Hashepsut was ruling Thutmose, after finally "graduating preschool" was training in the army. When Hashepsut died, Thutmose took an army to Megido - which is where we get "Armageddon" from - and conquered the heck out of it. Thr guy's first campaign was almost literally the Battle of Armageddon and he won. It wasn't all war and conquest though. Thutmose III was a patron of the arts, had several buildings constructed much like his predecessor did, and even kept a botanical garden. And of course, he was smart enough to know that by controlling the past you can control the present and future. Egypt lucked out with it's rulers here, honestly. Two high rolls in a row.
