Good for your school! All of Egyptian history is wonderful, interesting, worth learning. Glad you like it.

Why the emphasis on her consort? Why not on her achievements in Upper and Lower Egypt?

[IsabelVandervelde]

I am thinking in terms of a plot for a novel! Sorry to seem so chauvinist! You are right, of course, thanks for looking and commenting. I appreciate it!

How about; she was an Egyptian. :P Seriously, my brain will fry if I hear one of those "omg, egyptians are black/white". That's like calling Greeks blacks or calling Chinese white.

@shaprejenn15 Hatschepsut was the DAUGHTER of Thutmose I. She was the wife of Thutmose II, her half brother. She was the mother of Maat Neferure with her brother. She was the step mother and aunt of Thutmmose III.

@MultiDean75 I agree, she is one of the greatest rulers in history, high on my list :)

[MultiDean75]

@HistoryLover1550 Too true, and if you believe half of the theories around then she was possibly the Queen of Sheba as well as the princess who plucked Moses out of the rushes. Quite a story, and quite a woman :-)

@shaprejenn15 Actually she was the daughter of Thutmosis I, halfsister and wife to Tutmosis II and stepmother to Thutmosis III.

@LaMarquiseDeMerteuil Exactly, her story deserves to be told. Cleopatra has had more than enough spotlight, it's time Hatshepsut and Egypt's other great queens got theirs.

[LaMarquiseDeMerteuil]

Tuthmose I was Hatshepsut's father. Tuthmose II was her half brother and husband. Tuthmose III was Tuthmose II's son by another wife. He also was Hatshepsut's successor as Pharaoh. Senenmut (sometimes also called Senmut) was her architect, advisor and tutor to her daughter Neferure. Many people assume Senmut and Hatshepsut had a relationship. There is no proof to back that assumption. He certainly never was her consort. All the above mentionned facts can be found on the web.

@HistoryLover1550 I concur. A movie needs to be produced.

@IsabelVandervelde I think you mean her husband is Thutmosis II, not III, right?
