@_historyunveiled: Hatshepsut was one of the most powerful rulers of ancient Egypt, despite living in a society dominated by men. 👑 She ruled as a pharaoh in the 15th century BCE, wearing the royal nemes headdress and a false beard, presenting herself as male to legitimize her authority. 🐍 Under her reign, Egypt experienced peace and economic prosperity — trade routes were reopened, and the famous expedition to Punt returned with gold, incense, and exotic trees. 🚢🌴 She built the magnificent mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri, one of the architectural masterpieces of the New Kingdom, dedicated to the goddess Hathor and to herself as a divine ruler. 🏛️✨ After her death, her stepson Thutmose III attempted to erase her legacy — destroying statues, removing her name from temple walls, and defacing her inscriptions. 🪓🪨 To this day, historians debate: Was Hatshepsut an ambitious usurper, or a brilliant ruler punished simply for being a woman? 🤔⚖️ #hatshepsut #ancientegypt #historyfacts #powerfulwomen #hiddenhistory #femalepharaoh
