 | | Upon the death of her father in 1493 BC, she married Thutmose II and assumed the title of Great Royal Wife. |
 | | At first, it appears that Hatshepsut was patterning herself after the powerful female regents of Egypt's then-recent history, but as Thutmose III approached maturity it became apparent that she had only one model in mind: Sobekneferu, the last monarch of the Twelfth dynasty, who ruled in her own right. |
 | | Hatshepsut died, either as she was approaching or just entering middle age, in early February 1482 BC or 1483 BC ; no record of her cause of death has survived, although both natural causes and murder have been proposed. |
