. . his love passed into her limbs.’ This supported the queens claim as daughter of Amun-Re ruling on earth. Later the inscriptions described Hatshepsut being promised by the god Anubis, ‘kingship’ and ‘all the lands of Egypt’ as stated by Breasted. This promise enhanced her right as ruler as it was promised by the gods.
The significance of roman religion played a major role on the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It was established in the 6th century and was influenced by not only the Greeks of Campania but also the Egyptians, the Pompeian and herculean religious practices were diverse from others as they had the pantheons involved such as Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Vesta, Ceres, Diana, Venus, mars, and mercury, Neptune, Vulcan and Apollo. Religion in Pompeii and Herculaneum was very broad and polytheistic as they worshipped more then one god therefore Deities and others were worshipped in different ways and peoples worships was in a form of offering, sacrifices, festivals, games and rituals.

In his year five, Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhetaten. Years later Nefertiti’s daughter Maketaten is mentioned for the last time and she died. During Akenaten’s rule, Nefertiti enjoyed exceptional power, and by the twelfth year of his rule, there is evidence that she may have been equaled in status to the pharaoh himself. She was often depicted on temple walls the same as the king, signifying her importance, and shown worshiping the Aten alone. Perhaps most impressively, Nefertiti is shown on a relief from the temple at Amarna.
For example, she is depicted nearly twice as often in reliefs as her husband, at least during the first five years of his reign. Indeed, she is once even shown in the conventional pose of a pharaoh smiting his (or in this case, her) enemy. Family Line Nefertiti may or may not have been of royal blood. She was probably a daughter of the army officer, and later pharaoh, Ay, who may in turn have been a brother of Queen Tiye. Ay sometimes referred to himself as "the God's father", suggesting that he may have been Akhenaten's father-in-law, though there is no specific references for this claim.

So does the story of Hatshepsut, an Egyptian Queen who dressed like a man to gain the support of the people, and whose accession to the throne, as well as what happened to her after death remain enigmatic. Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thutmose. Originally, she was not an heiress and became one after three of her siblings died. It is believed that she was already reigning when her father was still alive, perhaps, to learn how to be a queen.
Hatshepsut was always seen weak; but did have some military expedition. She pressured herself to be a male ruler, and as Redford concludes, there could have been four or more campaigns waged during Hatshepsut and Thutmose III’s joint reign. These include: her expedition to Punt, A campaign a. , This shows how strong and forceful of a queen Hatshepsut perused and succeeded to be. In order for Hatshepsut to be regarded as a true Egyptian king Hatshepsut had to portray herself in a certain as well as draw a clear division between her previous role as Queen regent and her role as king and, follow tradition and have herself depicted as a conventional king.

Ancient Egyptian Religion The Force Behind Everything As the ancient Egyptian religion was an important part of everyday life for all Egyptians (rich and poor), they built a great many temples and had shrines in their homes. The term used to describe ancient Egyptian theology is Polytheism. This just means that they believed in many Gods. Gods were not only formless entities with certain roles - but the Gods were also the forces of nature, the elements, and the characteristics of certain powers.

Some, such as Amun, was worshipped throughout Egypt.
Papyrus made it easier for the Egyptians to write. As the Egyptian civilization grew, their way of life expanded based on their achievements. Like Egypt, the Indus River Valley was another great civilization.

One of their most remarkable achievements was their city planning.

One of which is Hypostyle Hall which is a hall inside of the Karnak Temple, Hypostyle Hall is a hall with Hieroglyphics everywhere and was made by Ramses. A very interesting fact about the Karnak temple is that it is very religious. It is in fact the largest religious area in ancient Egypt.
