I dont think so. This is my idea but i think why was Hatshepsut erased was because of insecurity. Now the idea that the culprit was Thutmose is for me ridiculous because what was his reason for ever erased her from history. He was given command to her roops, was allowed to keep his place as pharaoh and didnt want to take her achievements as he had made a name fir himself as the Greatest conqueror of Egypt. I think the main culprit was his son and succesor, Amenhotep ii. Why ? Well the reason i think was for his legitimacy issues. You see Amenhotep ii wasnt born from his royal wife but from one of Thutmose's concubines and was not intended for him at first to become pharaoh. However Thutmoses eldest son died before the pharaoh did and so Amenhotep ii became pharaoh. This might have caused insecurity for the guy. After all he wasnt really royal enough and could have felt there would have been people like say Hatshepsut's direct relatives who.could have usurped him and justify it because unlike Amenhotep they were directly related to the female ruler. So he must have decided to ossue a damnatio memorae against the pharaoh to make sure noone would challenge the pharaohs authority
My instinct is actually that Thutmoses III was bitter that he was denied his rightful throne until she died, and it was his way of getting back at her. He probably spent much of his life in constant frustration and resentment and felt like his life was stolen from him...so he stole her afterlife. It's tempting to see history from the lens of our current politics, but we are all emotional beings first and foremost. It's usually personal things that drive drastic actions. Although he could very well have also thought it would be a bonus to prevent future usurping women from ruling.
Wrong! The damage to hatshepsut's monuments did not begin until 25 years after her death and given that Hatshepsut appointed Thutmose as head of her armies, no way in hell Thutmose would have any resentment towards his step-mother. Thats what we thought at first but the evidence simply doesnt add up.
She was a fascinating woman and a very effective ruler. She was probably erased so as not to inspire other noble women to follow in her footsteps and out of mundane jealousy. Great episode as always. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this. From an early age, I had memories of ancient Egypt and of working in the Temple. Often I saw my feet in the warm sand as I walked instead of seeing my feet on the cold grass of the rural area in the Netherlands where I grew up, and I knew that was me in another place. In Egypt I had alabaster bowls to mix ingredients into and small alabaster bottles that were used for storing ointments. I was a 'Daughter of Amun'Ra' and was given that position through birth, through my bloodline. It was at this time, where women were revered for their in(ner)tuition. I have memories of swimming and studying with other girls. We did not have services in the temples, instead, people would come by themselves when they needed healing or if they had troubles they wanted to talk about and requested guidance. My favourite memory was walking through the temple complex in the early morning to the small temple that I looked after. I would be the only person there, it was so peaceful and beautiful, pure joy. On the left at the front of the small temple was a gate with statues behind it. They were not very tall, ancient statues, made of clay, but looked like pale wood, they were a beige colour and they were beautiful. They were of very simple looking but highly evolved ancient human ancestors or 'humanoids,' part of our ancestral heritage. When I was a kid I would mix together dirt, toothpaste, leaves and anything I could get my hands on to make potions and lotions. When my mum gave us a bath she knew to move all shampoo, toothpaste etc. out of range as I would mix them up in a cup. I have memories of initiations and sacred rites. I knew I could de-manifest and re-manifest matter at will and practised it but I forgot how to do it. Only once did I manage to do it. I learned much wisdom about the amazing things we, divine humans are capable of and the evolution of our soul: the science of ascension. As a child I experienced lucid dreaming, (where I knew as was dreaming but was also asleep in bed). Watching this made me tear up and took me back there.
Such rich history and they tried to erase it. I do believe they tried to erase her so that women wouldn't follow her footsteps. Yet she emerged. As what she was, a female Egyptian Pharoe.
I have to point out a glaring error regarding Hatshepsut. She was NOT “the first female to rule Egypt with the full authority of a pharaoh”. Sobekneferu was one of the few women that ruled in Egypt, and the first to adopt the full royal titulary, distinguishing herself from any prior female rulers. She ruled Egypt in the 12th Dynasty during Egypt’s 2nd of the three golden ages, hundreds of years prior to 18th Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut . She is credited in the Turin Canon with a reign of 3 years, 10 months, and 24 days.
In 2011 they found out that tooth didn’t match the mummy. The mummy is missing the top molar, while the tooth is a lower molar tooth. Hatshepsut was the daughter who pulled moses from the Nile. She was dispised years later because she was blamed for causing the Exodus.
Thanks, perfection here especially your pronunciation of her name! Potentially she was the princess that discovered Moses, her stepson the pharaoh of the Exodus.
If she was erased from history how are we talking about her right now? They ATTEMPTED to erase her from history. I am a subscriber to this website and I love this channel and their website. Truly a great supplement to my studies. The quick videos are nice when I don't have much time to get my history fix. Thank you for your hard work I appreciate every single one of you.
A good case is made, that Hatshepsut was _"pharaoh's daughter"_ who drew they infant Moses ( Senenmut ) out of the Nile waters. And a good case is also made, that it was NOT Amenhotep III, but _Amenhotep II_ who vengefully subjected her to ruthless _Damnatio memoriae._ Why? Because _she_ had delivered Moses ( who would become her trusted, beloved grand vizier and architect, and daughters-tutor, Senenmut ), so blamed her for the catastrophic-Ten Plagues that wasted imperial Egypt, including death of _all the first born,_ thus also death of pharaoh's own son. Final blow: pride of his military power perished in the Red Sea. ---- So he vented his cruel-rage, upon Hatshepsut's memory,
The damage to hatshepsut's monuments did not begin until 25 years after her death and given that Hatshepsut appointed Thutmose as head of her armies, no way in hell Thutmose would have any resentment towards his step-mother.
I think the word "king" is more suitable here, because Hatshepsut always tried to show herself as a man to gain respect and legimacy in the eyes of her contemporaries.
Just curious here and perhaps a minor detail, however, I was under the impression that when speaking of Egyptian sacred carvings, the word used is "hieroglyph". The carvings are hieroglyphs, not "hieroglyphics". Hieroglyphic is an adjective used to describe the carvings. Correct?
Hi! Both terms are correct, however some people do tend to use 'hieroglyphics' in the plural sense and 'hieroglyph' for singular use. But there really isn't a wrong way of referring to them. 🙂
I think her name was removed from her monuments, because she was supposed to be a regent until the young Thutmose III' s age be suitable enough to ascend to the throne. But she endeavoured to be a Pharaoh, and not just a regent.
Hi! Zahi Hawass is generally very knowledgeable about ancient Egypt, so we feel safe taking his word for the cause of Hatshepsut's death, but of course, there will always be different theories circulating around.

Unfortunately, most of the facial damage youre talking about was done to "hide" the image of these royals' black/brown decent. Destroying the nose was an easy way to imply a Euro-centric image, which we still see the effects of in media today. Its all very shameful, but we now have lots of wonderful people dedicated to uncovering and preserving history unedited!
Do you agree with the common thought that Hatshepsut was removed to stop other women following in her footsteps?
Yes. 100% for sure.
Absolutely. Can't risk other royal women getting ideas.
Also, thanks for doing this video. She's been one of my heroes since childhood.

I always remember her name in school when I was in Social Studies, "Hat she put on" it's been 20 years. I learned a lot about her.
Thanks, perfection here especially your pronunciation of her name!
Potentially she was the princess that discovered Moses, her stepson the pharaoh of the Exodus.
Thanks so much! 🙂

The title of the video would be best like this: _“Hatshepsut: the Forgotten Woman who was a _*_Ruler_*_ of Egypt”_
I think the word "king" is more suitable here, because Hatshepsut always tried to show herself as a man to gain respect and legimacy in the eyes of her contemporaries.
Nurifatiti. And Derumani Kuru. She became the ruler after Emperor/Pharaoh Kuru. Darius and Dan. Who crushed Persia.
Thanks Prof
Hail to the Divine Hatshepsut!

but thanks to her he had the ability to rule
I can see that
Is there links between Hatshepsut and Moses?
There is some discussion that Hatshepsut was Moses' adoptive mother. However, there is no concrete evidence for this and it remains a topic of debate.
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia But if you look on the names of Hatshepsuts parents and brothers...🤔 Moses is a name of royalty
I watched a different video and it said hatsheputs death was from a cream with tarp stuff of sort not by a tooth so it is right
I meant "is it right "
Hi! Zahi Hawass is generally very knowledgeable about ancient Egypt, so we feel safe taking his word for the cause of Hatshepsut's death, but of course, there will always be different theories circulating around.

Did you know she was the princess that pulled baby Moses out of the water?
Actually, the princess who pulled Moses out of the water is never specifically named. She is just known as 'the pharaoh's daughter'.
Hatshepsut was a Melanin woman
You talk much too fast ... and the end of each phrase becomes almost inaudible!!! 👎👎👎
Y are all the busts noses taken off?🤔

They were trying to erase records of her image.

I'm not just talking about her most busts of the kings even like the Sphinx the noses seems to be purposely removed
