why does Hatshepshut look like a Greek or a Roman? Kemet the land of the blacks was founded by those who came from the South to the North along the Nile River. What about Pianki Pharoah from Nubia that invaded Egypt in the 25th dynasty? Queen Tyre and Taquara from Nubia which was before the Ptolemaic dynasty and Roman colonization even before the Hyksos
@@chevalierdenoir754 Not true! They did not come from the south. . the Egyptians bear the same DNA haplo markers that modern Egyptians have today.... and they are not black. The only Black Pharaohs were those like Taharqa that had a small Dynasty in Kush more than a 1-3 thousand yrs. later , not in the beginning.. if I act, he is even mentioned in the Bible . Quit trying to promote "afrocentrism" which is not a science, just propaganda,... and stop trying to appropriate my people's / country's history! Fuethermore, natron, a chemical, used in ancient Egypt for mummification causes the unwrapped mummy skin to turn black during dehydration.. chemical reaction not race, a common misconception.. Hieroglyphics and drawings can be changed and artificially tinted before posting on internet websites and vlogs and that is also quite common now to underscore promote that agenda.
@@kjgammon1658 I DID NOT SAY EGYPTIANS ARE BLACK. But what I do know is that there has been a deliberate campaign to exclude all black involvement in this great civilization. You have no idea how many times I have had these types of conversations with Egyptians that take any sort of black involvement in their dynasty as a major offense/threat to their identity. To say I am trying to appropriate your culture is a rather radical statement because I am descended from Ghana/Nigerians which has absolutely nothing to do with Egypt. I was very specific and chose my words carefully yet you are still repelled by the mere mention of the word Nubian and Egypt in the same sentence. How can you be and they are intertwined? I honestly don't care what your position is the fact is that Egypt was clearly a meeting place for many races and cultures whether from the Levant. the Mediterranean, other parts of North Africa, and yes Kushites from Nothern Sudan. Aswan and Sugar Island in Egypt is clear evidence of this today.
People always talk about Cleopatra and Nefertiti being powerful but nobody talk about Hatsepsut and how she flourished Egypt and brought peace in Egypt, Her history is heavily neglected which is really sad.
@@savantianprince Nope she wasn't transgender yep she did cross dress as a male Pharaoh so that people could be under control but she was not a transgender person, She had a daugher.
Supposedly they did the Great Pyramids in 60 years. Very fast builders. 2490 BCE is supposedly when they finished them A thousand years from then they didn't accomplish anything greater than that. To me, that's very suspect.
there is a really great book called 'King and Goddess' by Judith Tarr. It's a historical fiction version of Hatshepsut's life and very well written, in my opinion. It's how I found out about this amazing Pharaoh.
@@glendapalms1686 Because Africa is a continent and like other continents it have different shades of people, from dark to light and black to white, north Africans are mostly light skins and have different face structure than the sub Saharan Africans.
Hatshepsut is my favorite pharaoh, she did so much and yet she was almost lost to history. Its amazing to see and learn how much we have uncovered about her. Also, this is an amazing channel! I am glad I discovered it!
I think she was one of the best pharaohs period .Look at her track record. She performed magnificently. I think she is in my top 20 of the best rulers in World History .
And she demanded to be called Pharaoh, even though it's a title fit only for male rulers. True proof of the cunning and awareness it took to get to the top in ancient times.
Bruno, she would have demanded to be called queen. Pharaoh was never an official title for Ancient Egypts rulers. Additionally Pharaoh had only just begun to be used during the 18th dynasty, and wasn't widely used until the 22nd dynasty. Just an FYI, hope you enjoy the info and please feel free to verify, I learned this from the Britannica website.
You’re feeding into these lies as well. You know full well no white woman were in Egypt with no sun block in 40 degree Celsius. Think before you agree with a lie .
... okay. Anyway, Cleopatra is only famous because of white-washing. If most westerns didn't think Cleopatra to be "white" (there is no "white-gene" [narcissit-inspired, social construct], btw), she would be unheard of by now.
I am not only from the land where Hatshepzut visited, which is present day Somalia, but from the exact local area that welcomed her which still produces vast quantities of frankincense. We take a lot of pride in the fact that this famous and most Powerful Queen visited our land thousands of years ago and forged close cordial relationship between Ancient Egypt and Somlia. And it was Frankincence that became the strongest foundation of trade and other relations between the two sides.
@@halaeburgess8634 The fact that you have a certain appearance now doesnt make you caucasoid. You are historically the blackest people on earth so, no matter what caucasoid race you want to claim, you will always be looked upon as black... Am sorry about that.
wilses chompen sure so are Indians 😂 any Somali can be cacausion in the census of other people or even look arab in certain clans, you honestly sound jealous that you have no connection to ancient Egypt other than maybe the people who invaded etc. we are talking about horn Africans here Somalis specifically who are connected but your not
@@HistoryExplained When I was 17, I worked part-time at the public library. That's where I first heard about Hatshepsut, when I came accross Pauline Gedge's wonderful historical novel about Hatshepsut, Child Of The Morning.
I chose to write a paper on her when I was in high school, while everyone else wrote about Nefertiti or Cleopatra. It’s unfortunate that her history is overshadowed by the other two because she was a great leader and deserves more recognition
Genuinely, respectable human females like Pharaoh Hatshepsut should be mainstream across society. ______________ Society needs better, more [high] sentient, respectable female role models (who experience genuine humanity as an instinct, like Pharaoh-Hatshepsut)! And the attention of [young] females should be forcedly directed there (so many are narcissistic and dumb, so they'll willfully want to direct their consciousness/attention to [sexually] degenerate role models, such as Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, and Western hypersexual feminists)!!! Why is it that the "degenerate" often get the spot-light, are readily given platforms, and not subtly, systematically being suppressed (they would also need to be prevented from ruining aspirating youth/socially-vulnerable females potential, especially introverted and intuitive ones [relatively socially-vulnerable]). They need to stop being so pathetic (most females; not including XNTJ, obviously, and a few enneagrams). At any rate, like men, being pathetic, lacking emotional resiliency and having a disregard for intelligence should [seriously] shamed in women (i.e. being pathetic, having the mind of a child, not having a genuine growth-mindset/'intent' to grow into a genuinely intelligent and competent human being, and they should grow to be especially anti-narcissit [the actual mental disorder]). This will bold well for society and female [collective] legacy. More importantly, it will fix a lot of societies issues, especially since most parents fail to educate and firmly warn their children against narcissists/NPD (and cluster-b), particularly breeding with them as the disorder is genetic, so they only increase the number of people/children disadvantageous mental disorder (and 'NPD', and borderline makes them particularly evil).
Firmly agreed. She was an ideal and "true" human female. -Society has too many narcissits-witches disguised as little, helpless girl's when convenient.-
Her mummy also indicated that Hatshepsut had a dental abscess (infection), which is said to be her ultimate cause of death. RIP Hatshepsut, you're a true inspiration and wonderful role model. 🧡💐
If Hatshepsut died at 50 and had a 20 odd reign, it means she rose to power at 30. The numbers just don't add up. That mummy is definitely not her. She was closer to 35 when she died.
@@HistoryExplained Was she also the Pharoah's daughter the Bible speaks about, who pulled the baby from the NILE and named it....Moses? Give as much info as you can on this subject please! Thank You
@@yeyosilver7067 Where are you getting this from...I suggest you read exodus 2:5-10 and after reading that...if you have something for me to read...I'll gladly do so.
One vital thing which Queen Hatshepsut accomplished was ,she vindicated the living God by changing her religion, one can see in the AMAZING DISCOVERIES SERIES BY Pr. Walter Veith, and that is why she couldn't conclude her regime , and that's one main reason she was dethroned by her rivals and haters of the truth, most of the relics made during her reign, were destroyed.
I can tell you how her reign started. She killed Thutmose II, Thutmose iii was only a small child. When Thutmose iii found out. How his father died. That's the real reason he tried to erase all memory of the Queen.
Should've been sooner. Like Tesla, I wouldn't be surprised if she was INTJ-female (or xNTJ-female). Fyi, the powerful and competent pharaoh was not ENFJ (as the internet falsely claims). She was undoubtedly intuitive-thinker (not ENTP obviously, 😂 LMFAO, 🤣😂).
Lovely presentation. I was fortunate enough to visit Egypt years ago. Went to Tut's tomb, Karnak and Hatseptut's temple, not to mention the fabulous Egyptian Museum in Cairo, as I recall. The fabulous mask was on display. So glad I went before the strife. If possible, spend 2weeks there, riding on the Nile, go into the Giza Pyramid and visit every site possible. Adventure of a lifetime!
@@HistoryExplained HI and thx for the reply. Go if you can. Travel light, lots of film. Research everything first so as to plan for what suits you, especially weather. Can be nice in daytime and cold at night so be prepared. Walking shoes, don't drink the water. Unless in a 1st class hotel, no ice in drinks and nothing washed in water, like lettuce. Half the people on my boat were sick and missed the tours when ship docked along the Nile. My travel agent advised me, having been there herself and I paid attention. Enjoy!!
I wish teachers would use videos like your when presenting a topic so it could get the entire class interested in a subject, not just the ones who like history.
I can't believe I missed this upload! Truly one of my favorite channels. You have great storytelling, wonderful use of images (and substitutes when you have none), and narration is done is such a professional manner. I had no idea who Hatshepsut was, but you introduce people so well. As someone with a Bachelors Degree in History and 1 year away from being a lawyer, I deeply appreciate the time you put in on these videos.
@@shable1436 mummy is in museum in Cairo. Depending on which way you look it she either looks very poorly OR very fit for a 3000 year old. When you look at the temple from below the ramp leading up to the ‘first floor’ there are three levels of column structure visible ‘largely intact’. When you look closely at roof/floor ( depending on which level you are at) you can see that sizeable bits have been reconstructed, using as much of the original material as possible, but with concrete or similar and steel beams. Overall, whatever loss of ‘originality’ there may be my own view is that the ‘complete frontage’ is more impressive and the building’s use comprehensible that perhaps only half that frontage in a ruined condition. Thank you for your interest. I feel something of an old ruin myself. On trip to Cairo, daughter and myself went into chephren (went into Khufu 4 years ago, so did a different pyramid this time) the following day we were due to go into the step pyramid at saqqara, but I fell onto some stone steps and got breaks in tib fib. Leg still in cast as I lie on the bed writing this. Daughter sees great humour in my downfall on steps at the step pyramid.
@@brianwillson9567 WOW, so the mummy curse is real! Kidding, but thanks for your interpretation of what you saw, that is very interesting, I think Cairo is a jungle now, and the Giza Plato is very unpredictable in terms of corruption, and I've noticed a major dip in tourism because of it, and I believe they need to fix it somehow, but nowadays politics are so crazy with nationalities that, I would rather say I'm Canadian than American and not be judged by my country of origin. Did you have any problems during your visit about this, or get harassed by locals while there?
@@shable1436 no real problems other than the injury, on a Nile cruise most of the time, visited various places including Abu simbel, main reason for returning to Egypt as got no where near last time. We were very fortunate in that last time we were in Egypt we visited Cairo with an Egyptologist. My daughter kept in contact with him and he arranged our recent visit to Cairo. We stayed the Saturday night in one of his friends house literally overlooking the Sphinx and across the plateau to the pyramids.....magic. The following day he took us to saqqara, so it was very helpful having an eqyptian speaker when we got to the hospital then he and the driver took us back to our hotel in hurgarda. About the hospital, it have the impression of cluttered and dirty. BUT their competence. Had mhe xrayed, scanned and ultra sounded ( I could have had injuries beside the leg) wanted to operate, but agreed that as we were to go home the following day agreed to put an air flight friendly cast on just to get me back to uk hospital. All in little more than two hours. Very much American hospital, but withoutamerican prices, free as I had just turned 70. If only the uk health service was like that. Joking aside British waiting times are that you can almost die if old age waiting for treatment, and just getting a doctors appointment is like trying to arrange to have lunch with Jesus Christ.
@@shable1436 hi again. Couple of things about the good ole USA . About ten years ago we were in Florida and, at a diner, a couple of oldish ladies, hearing self, wife and daughter talking asked ‘where are you from’. I replied, Leicester, and trying to be helpful, said its about 100 miles north if London. You’re from Ontario replied one of the ladies!!!!! Last year daughter was transiting USA on way to holiday on Pacific island, Dallas I think it was. She passed out at the airport (she has a chronic condition POTS). She came to with a cop standing over her. You are English , he said, don’t worry about my gun. Lovely chatting to you. Hope I’ve not bored you too much.
Hatshepsut was one of the first Egyptian Pharaohs to lead a sea exploration from Egypt to China, Japan and what is now Australia. It is believed that she developed trade routes and brought Hindu and Buddhist statues to Egypt, after establishing trade venues with Punt. Proof of her navy has been discovered in underwater caves on the Ethiopian coast.
Hey, pretty interesting fact about the history of Egypt. I never imagined that in the ancient Egypt were a female pharaoh as Hatshepsut. Anyways, she made pretty great obelisks that some are still standing in Egypt.
Some Historians claim that it was the Queen Hatshepsut the ( Female Pharaoh ) that had adopted Moses , it can only be traced by checking of the contemporary time period when these two co-existed. Coz she was having lots of power and freedom which she could exercise. In Egyptian History none other queen were so prominent, yes Nefertiti was their but she didn't appeared to be a Monarch as a female Pharao as Hatshepsut.
@@michaelsistrunk7661 I've always thought it strange that thutmose lll...if it was him (it could have been amenhotep ll) for whatever reason destroyed alot of evidence of her existence...I've long suspected...that it was because..."if" she was the Pharoah's daughter who pulled baby moses from the nile...and he grew up being aware that the hebrews were his people (remember he was cared for and weaned by his own mother before being handed over to her...according to the bible) being in the royal household...and although a little older...he was also "possibly" aware of thutmose lll and amenhotep ll and they both being aware of him too...before he killed an Egyptian and fled...Hatshepsut being the ruler at the time...knowing she had no heir...and thutmose lll and amenhotep ll not being her biological children...would have chosen him (moses) to be Pharoah...and that would keep her in power as the queen mother... even though there's no evidence of any animosity...they really couldnt wait for her to get out of the way...so that they could become pharaoh and...make "their" mother the queen "the bible says he (moses) refused...choosing to be ill treated with his people...instead of enjoying temporary riches...its been said that one of the reasons her images were destroyed is because she turned against the "egyptian gods"... is it possible that she became convinced of the hebrews GOD...having associated with the hebrew women...in particular moses's mother...(you know how women can and "will" talk) and after him growing up, leaving and..coming back...causing all that trouble (you know the rest of the story) thutmose lll or amenhotep ll erased everything about them both..."BUT" as much as she was supposed to be erased...many things were not destroyed and...a lot of things concerning her has been and...are still being found...being put back together and they are telling a story...possibly the story of what they (the egyptians) didn't want us to know...that she indeed was the Pharoah's daughter who pulled that baby out of the nile...whoooo boy...now that would shake the foundations of the world of archeology!
You're the first to point out this historical fact, though i believe many would disagree simply because they have not studied the beginning of human history. These are probably the same ones who subscribe to Darwin's theory of evolution. Many do not know the real reason for Darwin's attack on the Bible. He wanted to marry his cousin Emma Wedgwood but religiosity at the time prevented him from doing so. That's why he went rogue and led humanity down the path of fake history. I hope History Explained, through its awesome work, would be able to address this issue. Truth is hard to acknowledge when one's mind is closed for whatever reason. It's interesting to note why none has been able, or bold enough, to explain why there was ZERO written record of anything prior to 2850 B.C. The year Steven Rudd pinpointed when the Tower of Babel was destroyed. Which correlated with Biblical account that it was after this destruction that new languages and new nations emerged.
@@michaelsistrunk7661 Pray tell how did you arrive at this conclusion? Better yet, i look forward to you debunking Biblical history as recorded in the protestant version. Perhaps it would do you no harm by going over Steve Rudd's body of work (just google him), one who has spent his entire life, and continuing to do so to this day, literally digging up Bible stories. He is no armchair historian, unlike you, perhaps? It's easy to make a sweeping statement. Anyone can do that. E.g. i make the statement that you have absolutely zero knowledge of history. Prove me wrong!
Probably the best history channel on yt. I wish you uploaded more videos, its all very simply explained and interesting, you can learn a lot from this channel
I really enjoyed this narrative about Hatshepsut. Thanks! Also, I think you have the best intro music and logo of any history channel I follow. Nice!! ❤❤
Thank you. Hatshepsut and the Eighteenth Dynasty have long fascinated me. Your work here is well thought out and supported by current work and thought in the archaeological fields.
@@randyeduo bruh get off your ass. Egypt is about ~5k years old, not *not 30K* lmfao. Secondly, stop being butthurt over race, Egyptians are white-brown-black since the first pyramids
I'm not sure why I'm just seeing this now, as I could've sworn I had signed up for notifications and it wasn't in my recommended. TH-cam and the algorithm are broken lol. But regardless awesome video!!! Hatshepsut has always been one of my favorite pharaohs, and this was a great portrayal of her. You guys are really knocking it out of the park in terms of research, unique aesthetic and great narrating. Can't wait to see what the future holds.
That’s strange. I’ve heard that being an issue for many creators. Maybe there’s a limit to the number of channels you can get notifications from? Just a guess. I have no idea. Thank you for all the compliments and support. I really appreciate it Nick!
Your format is very good. Good time length for my withered mind, good fact to time ratio, good graphics, and an appropriate sound track. Please make more.
You make the best videos about historical people on YT! The maps, the music, the voice. It really induces that "Egypt Feeling" and it feels like I'm watching a National Geographic documentary. Very well done!
I've watched & read a lot about different ancient Egypt doco's through my life, YOUR CHANNEL is the BEST of all channels about ancient Egypt & Middle Eastern history, keep up the good work ******!!!!!!!!!!!. Egypt, Greece & Roman empires are my favourites.
of all the periods of ancient Egypt I believe her's was the best time for Egyptians because she placed greater emphasis on expanding trade rather than on war. I find especially intriguing her trip to Punt to discover new materials, plants, and perhaps animals and bring examples back with her.
There is a better reason why Hatshepsut was erased 20 years after her death; her legacy was under the protection of Senenmut. When he died (20 years after her, funnily enough) someone must have found damaging correspondence between them because both had their image or name erased. The theory that Senenmut was Hatshepsut's lover and Neferura's father holds water.
They tried with Nefertiti due to her heretic monotheist husband Akhenaten. While Cleo was so consequential to Western civilization’s history that it would’ve been completely impossible to erase her from historical record.
pls continue ..For the first time i enjoy learning our history Iam egyptian .. i have never enjoyed ancient egypt's history due to the way it being taught to us in schools .. turns out i needed somethin awesome as this video to enjoy ancient egypt.
@Renee Tate What is wrong with you, Egypt was not a black civilization, only ruled by Nubia / Kusch during the 25th dynasty. Stop being a culture vulture, there's a lot of authentic black African history to be proud of.
@Renee Tate your ignorance is massive but lets migitate the situation. First iam a proud arab speaking. Proud Muslim. And if you don't know How enormous the contribution made by islam to our full scale identity ( battles we won against crusades/mongols - architecture and countless mosques ) then its not my problem that you are ignorant.
@Renee Tate secondly. I share the same land ancient egyptians lived / defended it with their souls thats why i feel iam related to him. Even though research all over internet say 75% of current egyptians have dna of ancient egyptians > i dont care about this fact. And of course i dont care about black and white debate. All people are equal for me.
I’ve just finished watching all the videos on your channels and was immensely entertained. This is interesting content and hope to see more in the future
While many countries are not yet ready for a female ruler, Egypt made that happen more than 3000 years ago. Egypt stayed a super power for 2600 years continuously and never invaded a country . Went to wars only to defend itself against invaders. Great documentary, thank you for such a unique job. How amazing is that these information were not easily available and now it’s just a click away on TH-cam. 👍
😂 Never invaded a country? My ass. They invaded a lot of countries and a lot of countries invaded them. Egypt has been pimped out a lot over 1000s of years😂
Hey dude, I've been watching you from about when you were at 4k and I'm amazed that you don't WAYYY more! Congrats on 10k! You really are a rising star in the history community. I don't know much about TH-cam but you could try doing more on well known figures in history that are misunderstood that'd probably get you a few more subs. Idrk either way stay safe and have a great day!
Wow, You have a Sensational Voice. This is the very best Bigfoot story, I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. I listened to it twice. Absolutely Amazing!
Thank you for making and uploading this informative video! It's definitely my favourite! It's so unfortunate that Hatshepsut doesn't get the credit she deserves. I'm glad this video honours her :) She'd definitely be proud of this channel for making it- even though the image of her is prettier than she may have actually been XD Keep up the great work, guys!
I remember reading a series of kids' books about three boys who regularly travel back in time to witness historical events, and in one book, they go to Ancient Egypt to meet Thutmose III. I remember one of the boys marvels at the special treatment the boy-king receives ("He's like Michael Jordan, Elvis, and the President all rolled into one!!"), and his more well-read friend responds that Pharaohs were essentially treated as gods incarnate.
@@HistoryExplained Indeed. I also remember in the story, the main antagonist is a high minister of the Egyptian court who wants to seize power from Thutmose and wants his, and his queen regent's, names stricken from the historical record.
It has been speculated that those who destroyed and defaced Hatshepsut's memorials hoped to destroy her spirit. I like the thought of her laughing as she sees people watching videos such as this!
I saw you comment on a video from Invicta, a favorite history channel of mine. I am so happy i checked you out. You produce fantastic quality content and I have no doubt this channel is going to grow exponentially as more discover your work. I can easily see that 5.2k subs turning into 500k with time. I work from home and spend way too much time on TH-cam. I discover a channel of your caliber maybe once or twice a year.
Punt Kingdom was located in todays Southern-Eritrea, Northern-Ethiopia, Djibouti and Northern-Somalia. In fact the expedition of Hapshetzu, some materials they left behind is being found in all over the place, specially in the Puntland State- North-East of Somalia. Strong evidences like exported animals to Egypt- Monkeys and Goats that are only native to Horn of Africa is also being found in burial sites in Egypt. So I have no idea why people still say that the location is being disputed.
Melanin levels in a small sample of mummies, language affinities between ancient Egyptian language and sub-saharan languages, interpretations of the origin of the name Kmt, conventionally pronounced Kemet, used by the ancient Egyptians to describe themselves or their land (depending on points of view), biblical traditions, shared B blood group between Egyptians and West Africans, and interpretations of the depictions of the Egyptians in numerous paintings and statues.
The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut's Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt, is a great read by Dr. Kathlyn M. Cooney aka Dr. Kara Cooney is an Egyptologist and Assistant Professor of Egyptian Art and Architecture at UCLA

Is there reason why you don't include narmer and imhotep in you egypt list?
why does Hatshepshut look like a Greek or a Roman? Kemet the land of the blacks was founded by those who came from the South to the North along the Nile River. What about Pianki Pharoah from Nubia that invaded Egypt in the 25th dynasty? Queen Tyre and Taquara from Nubia which was before the Ptolemaic dynasty and Roman colonization even before the Hyksos
@@chevalierdenoir754 Not true! They did not come from the south. . the Egyptians bear the same DNA haplo markers that modern Egyptians have today.... and they are not black. The only Black Pharaohs were those like Taharqa that had a small Dynasty in Kush more than a 1-3 thousand yrs. later , not in the beginning.. if I act, he is even mentioned in the Bible . Quit trying to promote "afrocentrism" which is not a science, just propaganda,... and stop trying to appropriate my people's / country's history! Fuethermore, natron, a chemical, used in ancient Egypt for mummification causes the unwrapped mummy skin to turn black during dehydration.. chemical reaction not race, a common misconception.. Hieroglyphics and drawings can be changed and artificially tinted before posting on internet websites and vlogs and that is also quite common now to underscore promote that agenda.
@@kjgammon1658 I DID NOT SAY EGYPTIANS ARE BLACK. But what I do know is that there has been a deliberate campaign to exclude all black involvement in this great civilization. You have no idea how many times I have had these types of conversations with Egyptians that take any sort of black involvement in their dynasty as a major offense/threat to their identity. To say I am trying to appropriate your culture is a rather radical statement because I am descended from Ghana/Nigerians which has absolutely nothing to do with Egypt. I was very specific and chose my words carefully yet you are still repelled by the mere mention of the word Nubian and Egypt in the same sentence. How can you be and they are intertwined? I honestly don't care what your position is the fact is that Egypt was clearly a meeting place for many races and cultures whether from the Levant. the Mediterranean, other parts of North Africa, and yes Kushites from Nothern Sudan. Aswan and Sugar Island in Egypt is clear evidence of this today.
People always talk about Cleopatra and Nefertiti being powerful but nobody talk about Hatsepsut and how she flourished Egypt and brought peace in Egypt,
Her history is heavily neglected which is really sad.
Thanks for watching!
I learned about her in my humanities class and I just loved hearing about her over Cleopatra and Nefertiti.
@@gemmastyles420
Me too, she was awesome.
Its probably because she was transgender. Back in the day, the gender swapping was taboo to talk about.
@@savantianprince
Nope she wasn't transgender yep she did cross dress as a male Pharaoh so that people could be under control but she was not a transgender person,
She had a daugher.
Man, recently I'm realizing how incredibly long the ancient egyptians lasted and there must be so much history to be covered
Yea it’s absolutely mind blowing. Ancient Egypt lasted 10x longer than the United States has so far.
Check Kathleen Martinez she is on track to find Cleopatra tomb
Grand it is, yet based on #Kemetic principles, which makes us wonder are we truly getting all the details originally intended 🥷🏽
The Eygpt we know in history books is the ending of their Golden Era. I believe the Eygpt is the only survivor of the pervious ice ages.
Supposedly they did the Great Pyramids in 60 years. Very fast builders. 2490 BCE is supposedly when they finished them A thousand years from then they didn't accomplish anything greater than that. To me, that's very suspect.
Hatshepsut should have been made a movie. Hatshepsut was a thorough, shrewd, and remarkable woman.
I agree!
there is a really great book called 'King and Goddess' by Judith Tarr. It's a historical fiction version of Hatshepsut's life and very well written, in my opinion. It's how I found out about this amazing Pharaoh.
Why they still gotta hav an European woman face... ? knowing this of Africa
@@glendapalms1686 That's the lie they serve to keep their charlatan agenda going to keep people who are sleep lost.
@@glendapalms1686 Because Africa is a continent and like other continents it have different shades of people, from dark to light and black to white, north Africans are mostly light skins and have different face structure than the sub Saharan Africans.
Hatshepsut is my favorite pharaoh, she did so much and yet she was almost lost to history. Its amazing to see and learn how much we have uncovered about her. Also, this is an amazing channel! I am glad I discovered it!

And she demanded to be called Pharaoh, even though it's a title fit only for male rulers. True proof of the cunning and awareness it took to get to the top in ancient times.
Very true! She's really incredible. Thanks for watching Bruno!
Elizabeth 1 pretty much did the same thing, except for the artwork
Pharao is actually the title of the ruler of Egypt regardless gender.
Bruno, she would have demanded to be called queen. Pharaoh was never an official title for Ancient Egypts rulers. Additionally Pharaoh had only just begun to be used during the 18th dynasty, and wasn't widely used until the 22nd dynasty. Just an FYI, hope you enjoy the info and please feel free to verify, I learned this from the Britannica website.
actually, they didn't call themselves "pharaohs". She called herself "good goddess" (among other things)
Cleopatra was the most famous , Nefertiti the most beautiful and Hatshepsut the most powerful
You may be right :)
You’re feeding into these lies as well. You know full well no white woman were in Egypt with no sun block in 40 degree Celsius. Think before you agree with a lie .
@@asa4767 Are you deluded ? Can you read ? Nobody mention here the colour of these women's .
... okay. Anyway, Cleopatra is only famous because of white-washing.
If most westerns didn't think Cleopatra to be "white" (there is no "white-gene" [narcissit-inspired, social construct], btw), she would be unheard of by now.
@@asa4767so what are you saying? Trying to say they were all "black" ?
I am not only from the land where Hatshepzut visited, which is present day Somalia, but from the exact local area that welcomed her which still produces vast quantities of frankincense. We take a lot of pride in the fact that this famous and most Powerful Queen visited our land thousands of years ago and forged close cordial relationship between Ancient Egypt and Somlia. And it was Frankincence that became the strongest foundation of trade and other relations between the two sides.
@@halaeburgess8634 The fact that you have a certain appearance now doesnt make you caucasoid. You are historically the blackest people on earth so, no matter what caucasoid race you want to claim, you will always be looked upon as black... Am sorry about that.

@@HistoryExplained You're content is great for such a small chanel keep up the good work.
@@HistoryExplained When I was 17, I worked part-time at the public library. That's where I first heard about Hatshepsut, when I came accross Pauline Gedge's wonderful historical novel about Hatshepsut, Child Of The Morning.
I chose to write a paper on her when I was in high school, while everyone else wrote about Nefertiti or Cleopatra. It’s unfortunate that her history is overshadowed by the other two because she was a great leader and deserves more recognition
I totally agree Grace!
Her exhibit at the MET in New York is my favorite. Always a must see when I visit NYC. 🗽
She was the best
Genuinely, respectable human females like Pharaoh Hatshepsut should be mainstream across society.
______________
Society needs better, more [high] sentient, respectable female role models (who experience genuine humanity as an instinct, like Pharaoh-Hatshepsut)!
And the attention of [young] females should be forcedly directed there (so many are narcissistic and dumb, so they'll willfully want to direct their consciousness/attention to [sexually] degenerate role models, such as Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, and Western hypersexual feminists)!!!
Why is it that the "degenerate" often get the spot-light, are readily given platforms, and not subtly, systematically being suppressed (they would also need to be prevented from ruining aspirating youth/socially-vulnerable females potential, especially introverted and intuitive ones [relatively socially-vulnerable]).
They need to stop being so pathetic (most females; not including XNTJ, obviously, and a few enneagrams). At any rate, like men, being pathetic, lacking emotional resiliency and having a disregard for intelligence should [seriously] shamed in women (i.e. being pathetic, having the mind of a child, not having a genuine growth-mindset/'intent' to grow into a genuinely intelligent and competent human being, and they should grow to be especially anti-narcissit [the actual mental disorder]).
This will bold well for society and female [collective] legacy. More importantly, it will fix a lot of societies issues, especially since most parents fail to educate and firmly warn their children against narcissists/NPD (and cluster-b), particularly breeding with them as the disorder is genetic, so they only increase the number of people/children disadvantageous mental disorder (and 'NPD', and borderline makes them particularly evil).
Firmly agreed. She was an ideal and "true" human female.
-Society has too many narcissits-witches disguised as little, helpless girl's when convenient.-
Her mummy also indicated that Hatshepsut had a dental abscess (infection), which is said to be her ultimate cause of death.
RIP Hatshepsut, you're a true inspiration and wonderful role model. 🧡💐
Thanks for watching!
I thought her son killed her because she was trying to usurp him
If Hatshepsut died at 50 and had a 20 odd reign, it means she rose to power at 30. The numbers just don't add up. That mummy is definitely not her. She was closer to 35 when she died.
Abscessed teeth caused alot of deaths back then. Once the teeth got infected it could spread quickly and cause sepsis.
@@fighterjetsteve She had bone cancer and diabetes so they say
Im 18. I remembered learning about her in middle school. She's literally my favorite Pharaoh.

Who knows what else she accomplished during her reign? I hope more and more is uncovered about her in the future.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
One vital thing which Queen Hatshepsut accomplished was ,she vindicated the living God by changing her religion, one can see in the AMAZING DISCOVERIES SERIES BY Pr. Walter Veith, and that is why she couldn't conclude her regime , and that's one main reason she was dethroned by her rivals and haters of the truth, most of the relics made during her reign, were destroyed.
Moi aussi ❤
I can tell you how her reign started. She killed Thutmose II, Thutmose iii was only a small child. When Thutmose iii found out. How his father died. That's the real reason he tried to erase all memory of the Queen.
May she be praised eternally!
Indeed!
This channel is severely underrated. Hope it gets the attention it deserves.
Thank you for saying that! I appreciate the support!
She was outstanding. Finally getting the credit she deserves.
I agree
Should've been sooner. Like Tesla, I wouldn't be surprised if she was INTJ-female (or xNTJ-female).
Fyi, the powerful and competent pharaoh was not ENFJ (as the internet falsely claims). She was undoubtedly intuitive-thinker (not ENTP obviously, 😂 LMFAO, 🤣😂).
Lovely presentation. I was fortunate enough to visit Egypt years ago. Went to Tut's tomb, Karnak and Hatseptut's temple, not to mention the fabulous Egyptian Museum in Cairo, as I recall. The fabulous mask was on display. So glad I went before the strife. If possible, spend 2weeks there, riding on the Nile, go into the Giza Pyramid and visit every site possible. Adventure of a lifetime!
Thanks for sharing Mandy!
@@HistoryExplained HI and thx for the reply. Go if you can. Travel light, lots of film. Research everything first so as to plan for what suits you, especially weather. Can be nice in daytime and cold at night so be prepared. Walking shoes, don't drink the water. Unless in a 1st class hotel, no ice in drinks and nothing washed in water, like lettuce. Half the people on my boat were sick and missed the tours when ship docked along the Nile. My travel agent advised me, having been there herself and I paid attention. Enjoy!!
LUCKY
Went to Egypt on a class trip.I was only 11 years old.we did a cruise on the Nile , visited the valley of kings , the Pyramids and Hatchepsut temple
They are opening a bigger museum there.
I wish teachers would use videos like your when presenting a topic so it could get the entire class interested in a subject, not just the ones who like history.
I agree. History class would be much more entertaining if videos were used alongside textbooks.
instead of like... doing their jobs.... and teaching?
@Sandra Hales yeah but using this image, which looks nothing like her just spread misinformation
@@LiquidSoul06Exactly Hatshepsut been black the whole time and now that she famous they turn her lighter skinned 😅these ppl are sickening
I can't believe I missed this upload! Truly one of my favorite channels. You have great storytelling, wonderful use of images (and substitutes when you have none), and narration is done is such a professional manner. I had no idea who Hatshepsut was, but you introduce people so well. As someone with a Bachelors Degree in History and 1 year away from being a lawyer, I deeply appreciate the time you put in on these videos.

I always had a huge fascination about ancient Egypt.... These videos are a treat to watch and so much to learn
I’m happy to hear that :)
Saw her mummy and her temple last month. The sympathetic restoration/reconstruction of the temple adds so much to understanding her legacy.
Wow, explain pls, what did you see in the temple, what restorations did you notice the most, and how was she looking
@@shable1436 mummy is in museum in Cairo. Depending on which way you look it she either looks very poorly OR very fit for a 3000 year old. When you look at the temple from below the ramp leading up to the ‘first floor’ there are three levels of column structure visible ‘largely intact’. When you look closely at roof/floor ( depending on which level you are at) you can see that sizeable bits have been reconstructed, using as much of the original material as possible, but with concrete or similar and steel beams. Overall, whatever loss of ‘originality’ there may be my own view is that the ‘complete frontage’ is more impressive and the building’s use comprehensible that perhaps only half that frontage in a ruined condition. Thank you for your interest. I feel something of an old ruin myself. On trip to Cairo, daughter and myself went into chephren (went into Khufu 4 years ago, so did a different pyramid this time) the following day we were due to go into the step pyramid at saqqara, but I fell onto some stone steps and got breaks in tib fib. Leg still in cast as I lie on the bed writing this. Daughter sees great humour in my downfall on steps at the step pyramid.
@@brianwillson9567 WOW, so the mummy curse is real! Kidding, but thanks for your interpretation of what you saw, that is very interesting, I think Cairo is a jungle now, and the Giza Plato is very unpredictable in terms of corruption, and I've noticed a major dip in tourism because of it, and I believe they need to fix it somehow, but nowadays politics are so crazy with nationalities that, I would rather say I'm Canadian than American and not be judged by my country of origin. Did you have any problems during your visit about this, or get harassed by locals while there?
@@shable1436 no real problems other than the injury, on a Nile cruise most of the time, visited various places including Abu simbel, main reason for returning to Egypt as got no where near last time. We were very fortunate in that last time we were in Egypt we visited Cairo with an Egyptologist. My daughter kept in contact with him and he arranged our recent visit to Cairo. We stayed the Saturday night in one of his friends house literally overlooking the Sphinx and across the plateau to the pyramids.....magic. The following day he took us to saqqara, so it was very helpful having an eqyptian speaker when we got to the hospital then he and the driver took us back to our hotel in hurgarda. About the hospital, it have the impression of cluttered and dirty. BUT their competence. Had mhe xrayed, scanned and ultra sounded ( I could have had injuries beside the leg) wanted to operate, but agreed that as we were to go home the following day agreed to put an air flight friendly cast on just to get me back to uk hospital. All in little more than two hours. Very much American hospital, but withoutamerican prices, free as I had just turned 70. If only the uk health service was like that. Joking aside British waiting times are that you can almost die if old age waiting for treatment, and just getting a doctors appointment is like trying to arrange to have lunch with Jesus Christ.
@@shable1436 hi again. Couple of things about the good ole USA . About ten years ago we were in Florida and, at a diner, a couple of oldish ladies, hearing self, wife and daughter talking asked ‘where are you from’. I replied, Leicester, and trying to be helpful, said its about 100 miles north if London. You’re from Ontario replied one of the ladies!!!!! Last year daughter was transiting USA on way to holiday on Pacific island, Dallas I think it was. She passed out at the airport (she has a chronic condition POTS). She came to with a cop standing over her. You are English , he said, don’t worry about my gun. Lovely chatting to you. Hope I’ve not bored you too much.
You have returned my King

Hatshepsut was one of the first Egyptian Pharaohs to lead a sea exploration from Egypt to China, Japan and what is now Australia. It is believed that she developed trade routes and brought Hindu and Buddhist statues to Egypt, after establishing trade venues with Punt. Proof of her navy has been discovered in underwater caves on the Ethiopian coast.
Ethiopia maybe, Australia?? Joke or hoax.

Hey, pretty interesting fact about the history of Egypt. I never imagined that in the ancient Egypt were a female pharaoh as Hatshepsut. Anyways, she made pretty great obelisks that some are still standing in Egypt.
Yea it’s very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
They destroyed the writing on those obelisks on purpose to erase her history. Patriarchy been salty
i read an amazing book about her. hers was truly an amazing story !!!!! so glad she was never forgotten !!!!
Some Historians claim that it was the Queen Hatshepsut the ( Female Pharaoh ) that had adopted Moses , it can only be traced by checking of the contemporary time period when these two co-existed. Coz she was having lots of power and freedom which she could exercise. In Egyptian History none other queen were so prominent, yes Nefertiti was their but she didn't appeared to be a Monarch as a female Pharao as Hatshepsut.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing Belinda!
the story of moses is not historically true
@@michaelsistrunk7661 I've always thought it strange that thutmose lll...if it was him (it could have been amenhotep ll) for whatever reason destroyed alot of evidence of her existence...I've long suspected...that it was because..."if" she was the Pharoah's daughter who pulled baby moses from the nile...and he grew up being aware that the hebrews were his people (remember he was cared for and weaned by his own mother before being handed over to her...according to the bible) being in the royal household...and although a little older...he was also "possibly" aware of thutmose lll and amenhotep ll and they both being aware of him too...before he killed an Egyptian and fled...Hatshepsut being the ruler at the time...knowing she had no heir...and thutmose lll and amenhotep ll not being her biological children...would have chosen him (moses) to be Pharoah...and that would keep her in power as the queen mother... even though there's no evidence of any animosity...they really couldnt wait for her to get out of the way...so that they could become pharaoh and...make "their" mother the queen "the bible says he (moses) refused...choosing to be ill treated with his people...instead of enjoying temporary riches...its been said that one of the reasons her images were destroyed is because she turned against the "egyptian gods"... is it possible that she became convinced of the hebrews GOD...having associated with the hebrew women...in particular moses's mother...(you know how women can and "will" talk) and after him growing up, leaving and..coming back...causing all that trouble (you know the rest of the story) thutmose lll or amenhotep ll erased everything about them both..."BUT" as much as she was supposed to be erased...many things were not destroyed and...a lot of things concerning her has been and...are still being found...being put back together and they are telling a story...possibly the story of what they (the egyptians) didn't want us to know...that she indeed was the Pharoah's daughter who pulled that baby out of the nile...whoooo boy...now that would shake the foundations of the world of archeology!
You're the first to point out this historical fact, though i believe many would disagree simply because they have not studied the beginning of human history. These are probably the same ones who subscribe to Darwin's theory of evolution. Many do not know the real reason for Darwin's attack on the Bible. He wanted to marry his cousin Emma Wedgwood but religiosity at the time prevented him from doing so. That's why he went rogue and led humanity down the path of fake history.
I hope History Explained, through its awesome work, would be able to address this issue. Truth is hard to acknowledge when one's mind is closed for whatever reason. It's interesting to note why none has been able, or bold enough, to explain why there was ZERO written record of anything prior to 2850 B.C. The year Steven Rudd pinpointed when the Tower of Babel was destroyed. Which correlated with Biblical account that it was after this destruction that new languages and new nations emerged.
@@michaelsistrunk7661 Pray tell how did you arrive at this conclusion? Better yet, i look forward to you debunking Biblical history as recorded in the protestant version. Perhaps it would do you no harm by going over Steve Rudd's body of work (just google him), one who has spent his entire life, and continuing to do so to this day, literally digging up Bible stories. He is no armchair historian, unlike you, perhaps? It's easy to make a sweeping statement. Anyone can do that. E.g. i make the statement that you have absolutely zero knowledge of history. Prove me wrong!

of all the periods of ancient Egypt I believe her's was the best time for Egyptians because she placed greater emphasis on expanding trade rather than on war. I find especially intriguing her trip to Punt to discover new materials, plants, and perhaps animals and bring examples back with her.

History Explained oh second language I’m sorry I didn’t realize I was talking to a wise person as yourself
There’s about 2x more non-native English speakers in the world than there are native English speakers
There is a better reason why Hatshepsut was erased 20 years after her death; her legacy was under the protection of Senenmut. When he died (20 years after her, funnily enough) someone must have found damaging correspondence between them because both had their image or name erased. The theory that Senenmut was Hatshepsut's lover and Neferura's father holds water.
Interesting. Maybe you’re right. Thanks for sharing Caroline!
Or Just maybe the patriarch hated her power and influence over the region and wanted her erased from history. Also she was a real African so.
It funny that they tried to erase herstory, but never did the same to Cleo nor Nefetiti. The TRUTH awals prevails🔺️
They tried with Nefertiti due to her heretic monotheist husband Akhenaten. While Cleo was so consequential to Western civilization’s history that it would’ve been completely impossible to erase her from historical record.
As my Native Native American brotheren--would say, say she wasn't a pale-face

Iam egyptian .. i have never enjoyed ancient egypt's history due to the way it being taught to us in schools .. turns out i needed somethin awesome as this video to enjoy ancient egypt.
@Renee Tate What is wrong with you, Egypt was not a black civilization, only ruled by Nubia / Kusch during the 25th dynasty. Stop being a culture vulture, there's a lot of authentic black African history to be proud of.
@Renee Tate your ignorance is massive but lets migitate the situation.
First iam a proud arab speaking. Proud Muslim. And if you don't know How enormous the contribution made by islam to our full scale identity ( battles we won against crusades/mongols - architecture and countless mosques ) then its not my problem that you are ignorant.

I share the same land ancient egyptians lived / defended it with their souls thats why i feel iam related to him. Even though research all over internet say 75% of current egyptians have dna of ancient egyptians > i dont care about this fact. And of course i dont care about black and white debate.

Very good videos!found you in the comment section of a simon whistler video!good luck on expanding your channel
Thanks for giving me a chance!

I'm glad you did as well. Thanks for your support!
While many countries are not yet ready for a female ruler, Egypt made that happen more than 3000 years ago.
Egypt stayed a super power for 2600 years continuously and never invaded a country . Went to wars only to defend itself against invaders.
Great documentary, thank you for such a unique job. How amazing is that these information were not easily available and now it’s just a click away on TH-cam. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Ancient Egypt invaded other countries many time. They brought back slaves too.
😂 Never invaded a country? My ass. They invaded a lot of countries and a lot of countries invaded them. Egypt has been pimped out a lot over 1000s of years😂
Excellent presentation 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Hey dude, I've been watching you from about when you were at 4k and I'm amazed that you don't WAYYY more! Congrats on 10k! You really are a rising star in the history community. I don't know much about TH-cam but you could try doing more on well known figures in history that are misunderstood that'd probably get you a few more subs. Idrk either way stay safe and have a great day!
Thanks for saying that! Also thank you for the suggestions!
Wow, You have a Sensational Voice.
This is the very best Bigfoot story,
I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.
I listened to it twice.
Absolutely Amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making and uploading this informative video! It's definitely my favourite!
It's so unfortunate that Hatshepsut doesn't get the credit she deserves. I'm glad this video honours her :) She'd definitely be proud of this channel for making it- even though the image of her is prettier than she may have actually been XD Keep up the great work, guys!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the nice comment :)
She was a black get it to your b.u.m.b skull
I adore your channel. Your videos are so beautiful.
Thank you Aisha!
I love ancient Egyptian history along with ancient Indian history
Thank you for your support!
Great content. My favorite Queen before the common era.
Second only to Queen Tiye to me. Hatshepsut was the original Queen Elizabeth
Thanks for watching!
This is excellent prep for our trip to Egypt . Thank you
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great content, great presentation. You're doing such a wonderful job.👌
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your support!
I remember reading a series of kids' books about three boys who regularly travel back in time to witness historical events, and in one book, they go to Ancient Egypt to meet Thutmose III. I remember one of the boys marvels at the special treatment the boy-king receives ("He's like Michael Jordan, Elvis, and the President all rolled into one!!"), and his more well-read friend responds that Pharaohs were essentially treated as gods incarnate.
Interesting!
@@HistoryExplained Indeed. I also remember in the story, the main antagonist is a high minister of the Egyptian court who wants to seize power from Thutmose and wants his, and his queen regent's, names stricken from the historical record.
It has been speculated that those who destroyed and defaced Hatshepsut's memorials hoped to destroy her spirit. I like the thought of her laughing as she sees people watching videos such as this!
So do I! 😆
@@HistoryExplained :) :) :)
So interesting. I love this time in history.
Thank you for sharing.
You’re very welcome :)
Thank you for posting. Lots of love 💖🕊️

New subscriber!
This will help me a lot!
I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I saw you comment on a video from Invicta, a favorite history channel of mine. I am so happy i checked you out. You produce fantastic quality content and I have no doubt this channel is going to grow exponentially as more discover your work. I can easily see that 5.2k subs turning into 500k with time.
I work from home and spend way too much time on TH-cam. I discover a channel of your caliber maybe once or twice a year.
Thank you so much Zevin!
You have nice narration voice, nice information and slides to present, nice logo intro. Loved your channel. Keep it up. Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching!
The information provided by this particular video is remarkable and this channel is historically an asset for the foreseeable future
Keep going.....🙏🙏
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Your channel is undeniably one of the best history channels out there. So underrated!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing! Mabey do a king of the Hittie Empire?
Yes perhaps. Do you have a king in mind that would make for a good video?
Šuppiluliuma I, He is considered the greatest Hittie king.
I’ll look into him. Thanks for the suggestion.
Good Artwork!
Thank you so much! The artist is incredibly talented!
@@HistoryExplained I agree!
Punt Kingdom was located in todays Southern-Eritrea, Northern-Ethiopia, Djibouti and Northern-Somalia. In fact the expedition of Hapshetzu, some materials they left behind is being found in all over the place, specially in the Puntland State- North-East of Somalia. Strong evidences like exported animals to Egypt- Monkeys and Goats that are only native to Horn of Africa is also being found in burial sites in Egypt. So I have no idea why people still say that the location is being disputed.
Thanks for sharing!
It is really enjoyable to watch these interesting videos :))
Thanks for watching!
make sure you're sharing links to your videos on forums like reddit so you get more exposure
That's a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
Melanin levels in a small sample of mummies, language affinities between ancient Egyptian language and sub-saharan languages, interpretations of the origin of the name Kmt, conventionally pronounced Kemet, used by the ancient Egyptians to describe themselves or their land (depending on points of view), biblical traditions, shared B blood group between Egyptians and West Africans, and interpretations of the depictions of the Egyptians in numerous paintings and statues.

The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut's Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt, is a great read by Dr. Kathlyn M. Cooney aka Dr. Kara Cooney is an Egyptologist and Assistant Professor of Egyptian Art and Architecture at UCLA
Thanks for watching!
you liked it? I found that book unbearable. I much prefer Hatshepsut from Queen to Pharaoh by the Metropolitan museum of Art.
This channel deserves at least a million subscribers
Thank you!
Forgot to comment on this one! Another great video!
Multumesc foarte mult Gica!
