  Hatshepsut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hatshepsut groomed the elder one, Nefrure, as crown prince, commissioning official portraits of her wearing the false beard and side lock of youth, but she also passed the female title of God's Wife of Amun on to Nefrure when she ascended to the throne.
Hatshepsut surrounded herself by strong and loyal advisors, many of whom are still known today: Hapuseneb, the High Priest of Amun; Nehsi, a Nubian general; and her closest advisor, the royal steward Senemut.
Hatshepsut was an excellent propagandist, and while all ancient leaders used propaganda to legitimize their rule, she is one of the most known for it.

 Hatshepsut: Egypt's Famous Female Pharaoh
Hatshepsut's death, Tuthmose III was so jealous of her that he ordered her monuments obscured and all mention of her erased from the walls of temples and other important buildings.
Since the ancient Egyptians believed that a person's spirit lived on as long as his or her name was carved into a wall, Tuthmose's decision to erase his hated aunt's name was probably because he thought that he would destroy her spirit as well.
In a time when women were thought of as second-class citizens, good only for delivering sons who would be kings, Hatshepsut was the ruler herself, and she did it for 15 years.

 Hatshepsut - The Woman Who Was King   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Queen Hatshepsut was the first great woman in recorded history: the forerunner of such figures as Cleopatra, Catherine the Great and Elizabeth I. Her rise to power went against all the conventions of her time.
She was the first wife and Queen of Thutmose II and on his death proclaimed herself Pharaoh, denying the old king's son, her nephew, his inheritance.
Hatshepsut's successor became the greatest of all Pharaohs, Thutmose III, "the Napoleon of ancient Egypt." He had her name cut away from the temple walls which suggests he was not overly fond of his auntie.

Hatshepsut’s reign was a period of immense artistic creativity.
Hatshepsut: Woman of Many Aspects - The phenomenon of a woman ruling a fundamentally patriarchal society while surrounded by male courtiers and advisors, the eventual destruction of Hatshepsut’s monuments by Tuthmosis III, and the omission of her name from later king lists have fueled debate among Egyptologists for over a century.
Under an unusual line of succession, she and Tuthmosis III, who was the son of Hatshepsut’s husband, but by a lesser queen, effectively shared the throne of Egypt as two kings for a period of almost 20 years.

 Hatshepsut, the Queen of Sheba, and Immanuel Velikovsky
Now, Egypt was a country located close to the land of the Israelites, and, in biblical tradition, it was a favorite place of refuge for those from the latter place: thus, e.g., Abraham, the family of the Old Testament Joseph, and Joseph and Mary with the infant Jesus.
Hatshepsut was a usurper on the Egyptian throne, and perhaps she erected her funerary monument next to her glorious Theban predecessor, and imitated its plan, as a way of legitimizing her rule; but whatever her reason, the similarity of plan of the two monuments is evident [64].
It is difficult to glean from Velikovsky’s discussion that Hatshepsut’s edifice at Deir el Bahari was her funerary monument, constructed in a part of the vast Theban cemetery region in the desert on the west side of the Nile.

Hatshepsut obviously constructed this story to legitimize her claim to the throne.
The real mystery of Hatshepsut's reign was not so much how she was able to become Pharaoh but how she held on to power for so long when there was a legitimate male heir.
Also, Hatshepsut apparently surrounded herself with smart and powerful advisors, but I think her true genius lay in her ability to manipulate her own image.
