Summary

Her life and reign (c. 1500 - 1475 BCE). As pharaoh of Egypt, Hatshepsut achieved great wonders. The magnificent temple at Deir el-Bahari (Djeser Djeseru), an enormous trade fleet to Punt (modern Ethiopia, Somalia, or Yemen), the expansion of Karnak Temple and the erection of great obelisks, and the promotion of new ideas in royal mythology and propaganda. In this compilation of previously-released episodes, we discuss Hatshepsut's rise to power, her assumption of kingship, her great monuments and achievements, and the loyal servants who supported her rule. In the end, we also explore Hatshepsut's legacy, both in the ancient world and our own...

0:00.0	We're a Callin' Chip from The Fellas, and this episode is brought to you by the new movie Strays!
0:07.9	Strays is the hilarious dog comedy that you've been waiting for. The story follows Reggie
0:12.5	and Foulmouth Book, who along with their pack of strays embark on an epic adventure of revenge,
0:18.3	doggy style. And of course it gets even better because it's voiced by Will Ferrell and Jamie Foul.
0:23.8	So gather your mates! Oh I will my friend because Strays is in cinema's August 17th.
0:31.5	Hello everyone, and welcome to a History of Egypt podcast compilation.
0:36.4	This is a collection of episodes that have previously released, but I have edited them together
0:41.3	into a single narrative. Today we cover the reign of the King of Egypt, Hutshipsut, often called
0:48.2	the Female Ferro, one of the 18th Dynasty's most intriguing and accomplished rulers.
0:55.6	This compilation is a bit of an experiment for the podcast. Usually I cover a reign in discrete

1:12.7	works, and if you enjoy it, maybe let me know, and I can always do more of these.
1:18.1	Anyway, enough introduction. Please enjoy the reign of Hutshipsut.
1:29.2	Our story begins in the reign of Hutshipsut's father, the King of Egypt,
1:34.4	Tutmos I.
1:38.3	Around the middle of his reign, somewhere about 1510 BCE, Tutmos was afforded a rare opportunity
1:45.2	to advance his children's status and increase his own political power.
1:49.7	The situation, unfortunately, was both a blessing and a sad occasion for it related to the death
1:56.0	of a close personal ally. Sometime around 1510, maybe earlier, the last significant personality
2:03.7	of the old royal family passed away. The chemit Nesut were at Great Royal Wife,
2:09.3	Queen, Armoza Nefertari, now stepped off the mortal coil and into eternity.
