Hatshepsut
Methuselah, Pharaoh
Overview
Hatshepsut died after a 22-year reign and, Thutmose III became pharaoh.
Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thutmose I and, upon his death, she became the wife of the youthful Thutmose II who was her young half-brother, born to a lesser wife than her mother. She seems to have been a de facto co-regent with him, having a great deal of influence upon the affairs of state. They had only one child who survived childhood, a daughter, Neferure, to whom the title of God's Wife of Amun was passed.
Upon the death of her husband Thutmose II, Hatshepsut was appointed regent for the very youthful Thutmose III, who was not born to her—the royal wife and queen of his father—rather, he was born of a lesser wife. He was her stepson and nephew. Shortly thereafter, Hatshepsut was named pharaoh.
Her daughter, Neferure, took her place in many functions that required a royal queen serving as the Great Royal Wife and, as God's Wife of Amun in the temple, while Thutmose III remained as co-regent to Hatshepsut. He became the head of the armies.

Though a daughter of Thutmose I she was not expected to rule nor was she expected to do much more than enjoy the life given to her. She was a curious woman, not kept to her "station" and was commonly caught leaving the royal grounds as a young lady. though never really punished for her efforts, she was a princess afterall. She learned through trial and error how to abscond from situations and avoid patrols. It was after this time when she learned to become a ghost to the world. She had watched, learned, failed and succeeded in a cat and mouse game against the best and most loyally train soldiers in their kingdom.
