Pharaoh Hatshepsut: Promoter of Egyptian Trade Hatshepsut was the daughter of the king Thutmose I. After his death, his son, Thutmose II, became king and his half-sister, Hatshepsut, became queen. But Thutmose II only lived about seven more years. In ancient Egypt, the oldest male in line for the throne usually became the next ruler. Thutmose III, Hatshepsut’s nephew, was next in line. But he was about 10 years old, too young to govern Egypt. Hatshepsut took over the government in his place. The Egyptian people probably expected her to rule only until young Thutmose III was old enough to take over his royal duties. But Hatshepsut had other ideas. This queen seized power for herself and became the ruler. Never before had Egypt been ruled by a woman. Sometimes she wore men’s clothing; even wore the fake beard that was worn by pharaohs! She ruled Egypt for about 20 years, she turned out to be a skillful leader. Like Egyptian rulers, Hatshepsut wanted to make she would be remembered for all time. She ordered a great temple to be built along the of the Nile.

Make sure to circle any unknown words, underline important parts, and jot down questions in the margins. Then, fill out the graphic organizer on the following page. Pharaoh Ramses II: Military Leader and Master Builder The pharaoh Ramses II ruled from about 1290 to 1224 BCE. Called Ramses the Great, he is one of the most famous pharaohs. He reigned for more than 60 years, longer than almost any other pharaoh. He is best known for his military leadership and for building numerous monuments. Ramses did everything in a big way. He had over 100 wives and more than 100 children! He wasn’t shy about glorifying himself, either. He had hundreds of statues of himself erected all around Egypt. Some of them were over 60 feet high. Ramses was a fearless soldier from a young age. He fought alongside his father in various battles. He was made a captain in the Egyptian army at the age of 10. Ramses tried to defend an Egyptian empire that extended north, and famously fought against the Hittites in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). However, Ramses was also a peacemaker. He and the Hittites signed the world’s first peace treaty. This peace lasted until the Hittite Empire collapsed around 1190 BCE. One of Ramses most impressive projects was a temple. It was carved into the side of a cliff on a bank of the Nile River. A smaller temple honored his favorite wife, Nefertari. Four giant seated statues of Ramses framed the entrance to the main temple. The figures were sculpted right out of the rock face of the cliff. They are among the finest examples of Egyptian art. Ramses built more temples and monuments than any other pharaoh in history. When he died, he was buried in a tomb that he had constructed for himself. He is one of the best-preserved mummies ever found.

You WILL be checked for accurate highlighting. Who were the pharaohs? Ancient Egyptian government was dominated by a single person, the pharaoh. The people believed that the pharaoh was more than a person or a king. To the people, he was half-person, half-god. This gave him absolute control over the affairs of the Egyptian Empire and its people. The pharaoh owned all the land and was responsible for the people’s well being. The pharaohs were kings, generals and religious leaders. The governmental officials included people like the chief treasurer and the tax collector. These officials were directly responsible to the pharaoh. The land itself was divided up into provinces called nomes. Each nome had a nomarch, who was responsible to the pharaoh as well. Taxes were paid in goods and labor (work). Citizens were drafted into the army and forced to labor for periods of time. Slaves and draftees were often used in the army. The majority of Egyptian people were farmers who worked the land along the fertile Nile flood basin. The power of the pharaohs expanded during the Old Kingdom. During the Old Kingdom time, the Egyptians built great pyramids in which to bury their pharaohs. Society was orderly, based on great differences between social classes. After the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom was marked by order and peace. Towards the end of the Middle Kingdom, however, Egypt began to fall into disorder. Around 1750 BC a group from the Southwest invaded. The Egyptians eventually fought back and in the mid-1500s BC were able to drive the invaders out of Egypt. The New Kingdom is the period of Egyptian history where Egypt reached the height of its power and glory. Egypt took control of more land and became an empire. Hatshepsut and Ramses were incredibly powerful pharaohs during this time. I. The Role of the Pharaoh A. The _________________________ dominated ancient Egypt. B.
