Saudi Aramco World : Hatshepsut: The Female Pharaoh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | According to them Hatshepsut was a usurper who, when her husband Thutmosis II died, seized his throne, claimed the Pharaoh's divine attributes and grimly dung to power until her step-son, Thutmosis III, reaching manhood, dramatically wherever possible destroyed all references to her and her regime. |
 | | Thus when Thutmosis II died, leaving only a daughter and an illegitimate son as heirs, Hatshepsut's subsequent claim to the throne seemed to be validated by blood as well as by logic. |
 | | Thutmosis III was dearly responsible for some of it - possibly because without royal blood, and without even marriage to the princess Neferure, who died young, he was either not secure on his throne, or was beginning to worry about the claims of his son. |
