	The Temple Of Queen Hatshepsut close to the Valley of the Kings, Thebes and Luxor - Hatshepsut Temple - Ancient Egypt

	Hatshepsut - Crystalinks
		Hatshepsut was the eldest daughter of Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose, the first king and queen of the Thutmosid clan of the 18th Dynasty.
		Hatshepsut apparently had a close relationship with both her parents, and later produced a propaganda story in which her father Thutmose I supposedly named her as his direct heir (see below) Hatshepsut dressed like a man and wore a false beard to prove that she could be Pharaoh and rule Egypt in her own right.
		Hatshepsut was an excellent propagandist, and while all ancient leaders used propaganda to legitimatize their rule, she is one of the most known for it.

		The temple is dedicated to Amon and Hathor (who Hatshepsut claimed were her parents) although there are chapels dedicated to other gods such as Anubis, the god of embalming and sailing ships (Barques) carrying statues of Tuthmose I, II, III and Hatshepsut.
		In addition to dressing as a male Hatshepsut used further devices to justify her reign; emphasizing not only the fact that she was Tuthmose I's daughter and favourite child, but also that she was the daughter of the God Amon and Goddess Hathor.
		Hatshepsut's tomb even depicts the night Tuthmose I in the form of Amon approached Hatshepsut's mother and impregnated her with the seed that created Hatshepsut.
