Pharaoh (1479 - 1457 BC. )
Who was Hatshepsut? A schemer as was said of her for a long time? Usurper? Egyptian heroine of a romantic novel? None of these, if we are to believe the huge work published by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt on this woman, the only one who proclaimed herself Pharaoh and ruled for at least twenty - two years. This was at the beginning of the 15th century BC. Egypt had just left a long period of troubles, destabilized by the Hyksos, Asian invaders. What was then called the New Empire emerged with Ahmosis, who expelled the invaders. Like his successors Amenophis I and Thutmose I, he died without a male heir. Hatshepsut, Thutmose I only child, had to marry her half brother, Thutmose II, who died soon afterwards.
