- Hatshepsut, daughter of King Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose, became pharaoh after her husband's death, initially ruling as regent for the young Thutmose III.
- Her reign lasted over two decades, marked by stability, prosperity, and successful trade missions, notably to the Land of Punt.
- She embarked on ambitious construction projects, including the famed Mortuary Temple at Deir el-Bahri and numerous prominent obelisks.
