 * Hatshepsut was the first woman pharaoh,** but it all started when her nephew,** Thutmose III, was too young to take his father's place as King.** Hatshepsut took her chance to become King. She was so powerful that her place as King, stayed.

The one thing that she believed in the most was trade. **Her foreign policy was based on trade rather than war.** A **trade expedition with Punt** was traded in possibly the coast of Ethopia, Djibouti, or even in Somalia. They traded gold, ivory, wood, myrrh, ebony, cinnamon, and eye paint. The outcome of trading was wealth, and a good relationship meaning no war.


 * Hatshepsut also built great temples. //In Karnak she built four obelisks for the God Amon-Ra.//** She built these obelisks for Amon-Ra because she wanted to show that she respected him. She also did a lot of public projects. **//She restored old temples that had been destroyed during evations.//**

Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh. She did a lot for Egypt to make it a wealthier place. She believed in good trade and she built and rebuilt great temples. She gave Egypt good trade and no war.
