Notable Women of #AncientEgypt: #Hatsheput
Hatsheput (1479-1457 BCE), claimed the throne because she was the daughter of the late king “Thutmose I by his Great Royal Wife” (Watterson, 101), and not “a concubine” (Watterson, 101). Hatsheput’s reign was known for “great achievements” (Watterson, 101) both “#architectural and commercial” (Watterson, 101). Her most successful commercial venture was “an expedition by sea to Punt, probably located in the east Sudan bordering on northern Eritrea/Ethiopia” (Watterson, 101).
