The Theory of Queen Hatshepsut Casscilla Cosby Professor Dodson HUMM100 May 5, 2013 Hatshepsut was born around 1502 BC to Thutmose I and Ahmose who were royalty and Thutmose I was Pharaoh at birth. Sadly enough her only two sibling were killed in an accident, which put her in a position to take charge of the kingdom after her father died. This put her in a most unusual situation because very few women had ever become pharaohs. However, Hatshepsut was highly favored by her parents more than her brothers, she was beautiful and had a much needed charismatic personality (Sayre, 2011). Thus, aside from her being a female, she had the strong makings needed to become a powerful queen.
Tuthmosis III was born in Egypt in 1516 B.C.E. He was the son of Tuthmosis II and was married to Hatshepsut who was his sister and daughter of Tuthmosis I. Hatshepsut considered Tuthmosis III to be a bastard son and believed him to be unworthy of being Pharaoh because he had no royal blood in him, since she considered his father to have poor leadership skills. Since Tuthmosis II and Hatshepsut hadn’t had any sons, Tuthmosis III would be the heir to the throne, so in 1504 B.C.E. when Tuthmosis II dies, the young Tuthmosis III is crowned. At this time Tuthmosis III was only around twelve years old, and Hatshepsut believed it would be better if she retained the power of the Pharaoh.
Tutankhamun: The Boy King of Egypt Fatema Shabbir Tutankhamun, popularly known as King Tut, the 12th King of the 18th dynasty was one of the youngest Pharos to rule over Egypt. This paper is based on his reign, with focus on his and his predecessor’s religious reforms and the significance of the discovery of his tomb. King Tut was crowned at the age of nine (or ten). During his reign the worship of the god Aten was ended and the old god Amun was brought back. In order to understand the restoration of the cult of Amun, we must look at the revolutionary religious policies placed during the time of Akhenaten.
ANCIENT HISTORY SPEECH- TUTANKHAMUN IN POPULAR CULTURE Tutankhamun became Pharaoh at the age of 9 during the 18th dynasty, He ruled over Ancient Egypt until his sudden death at the age of 18. The ancient Egyptians had done what they could to equip the pharaoh for a safe journey into the afterlife. After the discovery of Tutankhamun’s almost untouched tomb by Howard carter in 1922, the boy king would finally meet his real afterlife, though a rather different one than the ancient Egyptians had imagined. The discovery of the tomb made Tutankhamun one of Egypt’s most well-known rulers. Jon Manchip White writes, “the Pharaoh who in life was one of the least esteemed of Egypt’s Pharaohs has become in death the most renowned” The discoveries in the tomb were well-known news in the 1920s.
“Everything in war is simple, but simplest things are difficult.” ~Carl Von Clausewitz War exists within the storm of violence, uncertainty, and chaos. Military commanders are responsible for either the survival or death of their Soldiers. Successful commanders must implement the commander’s activities in mission command in order to attain victory. Julius Caesar is one of history’s most famous and successful military commanders. In 58 BCE, Caesar launched an eight-year campaign into modern day France, Germany, and southern England.
The third Tamar was the daughter-in-law of the Israelite patriarch Judah, the son of Jacob (Blank) and matriarch of the tribe of Judah. Little is said in the Bible of Tamar's life other than what is written in Genesis 38, where her story begins. Tamar married into the family of Judah. Judah had three sons, Er, Onan, and Shelah. Tamar married Judah’s eldest son Er, who was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was put to death.
By the end of his unusually long reign, he was famous throughout the ancient world and considered by many to be the last great pharaoh. His grandfather, Rameses I was chosen as heir to King Horemheb, the last king of the 18th Dynasty who had no sons or heirs, after serving as general, Commander of the Army of the Ruler of Two Lands, High Priest of all the Gods, and Hereditary Prince of the Entire Land. King Horemheb chose Rameses I as his successor because he had no children of his own. Rameses I not only had a son, Seti I, a soldier, but a grandson, also called Rameses as well. Having a strong military background, sons, and grandsons were important and helped King Horemheb make his decision and ensured Rameses I of having heirs to carry on the new dynasty.
Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thutmose I and later married her half brother Thutmose II, who then reigned for 14 years. Within a few years of his death in 1473, she had herself declared “king” by the priests of Amun, this move made her a co-ruler with Thutmose III for twenty years. Egyptian royal art did not change just because Hatshepsut was a female; her image was portrayed as a male wearing a kilt and linen headdress, occasionally even a king’s false beard. The way in which male kings were not changed to suit each individual ruler and Hatshepsut was by no means an exception the rule. The temple of Hatshepsut was positioned just north of the Middle Kingdom temple of Mentuhotep Nebhepetre in a sea of cliffs which are known as Deir el-Bahri (Su).
Explain why William introduced the system of military feudalism into England. (12 marks) William introduced the military feudal system into England because instantly, when William had finally conquered England in 1066, he became the most powerful man in the country; but he couldn’t take military action without an army. He had limited access to his Norman soldiers as they were back in Normandy and would take a few months to transport them all across the channel for his defence. Military feudalism made every tenant-in-chief provide soldiers for the King’s army on condition for holding land for the King. A fixed number of troops were then created called the ‘servitium debitum’ which could produce around five thousand soldiers if called upon by William: military feudalism to secure a huge army, organisation and sophistication of the military.
Ahmose was succeeded by his son Amenhotep I as Pharaoh, at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty. A king and Pharaoh in the New Kingdom, was a role of much importance; culturally and politically. It was his (infrequently her) role to be a leader, warrior, builder, administrator, ruler and divine figure between the people and the gods worshipped in Ancient Egypt. The Pharaoh was often depicted in artwork and statues highlighting the power one had and the respect one must be shown. The role of a Pharaoh also included the erection of buildings and monuments that depicted the riches of the role crown and of the empire.
