Pyramid Description Before I get into explaining about Egypt's pyramids I would just like to explain how Egypt's society was structured like a pyramid,for example the top of the pyramid was made up of the Pharaohs and then the Viziers because back then they were believed to have the most importance and then in the middle section were the Nobles, Priests,Scribes,and the Soldiers although these people aren’t at the top they still were highly respected and had big impact on the Egypt we see today.At the bottom of this pyramid we have the craftsmen,farmers and the slaves.

Hatshepsut was born in 1473 B.C., or in the New Kingdom. Her father’s name was Thutmose I and her mother’s name was Ahmnes. Her brother’s name was Anenemes. Hatshepsut married Thutmose II. She had a daughter named Neferure. Sadly, she died in 1458 BC. According to King Tut One, “ Hatshepsut was a very unique and intelligent individual.”
Hatshepsut, the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I and his Great Royal Wife Ahmose, was the controversial fifth pharaoh of the New Kingdom period. Egypt was under her rule for 21 years and 9 months during the beginning of the 18th dynasty, estimated to be between 1479 and 1458 BC.
She was the only child of king Thutmose the I, and wife/queen Ahmose. Hatshepsut was expected to be queen. After Her father died at age 12, Hatshepsut married her half-brother, Thutmose II. During the reign of Thutmose II Hatshepsut ruled as a normal kind, not a pharaoh. Thutmose II died after a 15 year reign, making Hatshepsut a widow before the age of 30. Hatshepsut had only 1 child with Thutmose the II, and she was named Neferure. The male air was in infant, Thutmose III, so he was too young to assume the throne without any aid. Hatshepsut, was this role, even though she was a girl. Technically Hatshepsut was not the official king of Egypt but it was clear to all that she was the one with power. She began having shown herself in a traditional
Queen Hatshepsut Hatshepsut was the longest reigning female pharaoh in Egypt, ruling for 20 years in the 15th century B.C. She is considered one of Egypt's most successful pharaohs. It is recorded that she was born sometime around 1508 B.C. Queen Hatshepsut ruled over Egypt for more than 20 years. She was the only child born to the Egyptian king
During the time of Ancient Egypt, having strong Pharaohs was essential to the maintenance and growth of the civilization, as the Pharaohs were believed to be living Gods. Although leadership of Ancient Egypt was often male dominated, there were admirable female Pharaohs who successfully gained power and left behind a positive legacy; one woman to achieve this was Hatshepsut, meaning ‘foremost of female nobles’. Her innovation and determination allowed her to maintain her position of Pharaoh for about twenty years (1479-1458 BCE). Hatshepsut was considered to be a very successful leader because of her confidence and ambition, magnificent building projects, and establishment of a strong trading network.
Queen Hatshepsut ruled Egypt from 1473 B.C.E. to 1458 B.C.E. She is known for her search of myrrh, and when she died, her name was removed from all the recorded in opposition to a woman ruler.

A woman becoming Pharaoh had been almost unheard of in ancient Egypt until Hatshepsut was born. Hatshepsut was the second daughter of the pharaoh, Thothmes I. After her sister, Neferu-khebit, died, Hatshepsut was the next heir to the throne unless a male married her and became Pharaoh. After Thothmes passed away, Hatshepsut fearfully, yet confidently, claimed the throne and commenced one of the most successful She-Pharaoh reigns ever recorded. Pauline Gedge’s Child of the Morning explained the social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of ancient Egypt’s society during Hatshepsut’s reign as Queen and Pharaoh.
Pyramids originated from the Egyptians. They expressed a worldwide view of the Egyptians. First of all, they were symbols of the pharaoh's authority and divine status. It reflects hierarchical status. In the Egyptian society there were slaves, the commoners, the pharaohs. If you were to put them in order the top of the pyramid would the pharaohs below them the commoners, then slaves and so forth. The most important one would be on the top which is the pharaohs. Also it was a testimony of the pharaoh's ability to marshal Egypt's resources. They were also used for tombs. Their worldview was very religious too, because the pyramids were a symbol of a gateway of the next life. This is seen as inside the pyramids the Egyptians buried

Ancient Egypt, a dynamic civilization with an unbroken history of powerful reigning, dates to the 4th millennium and is located in north-eastern Africa. Hatshepsut was the most significant female Pharaoh, who ruled the 18th dynasty of Egypt and showed Egypt that no matter what gender, she could successfully lead a country. Hatshepsut was a significant leader as she was a very clever and strategic woman, she managed to convince Egypt to accept her as Pharaoh even though she was a woman.
One of Hatshepsut's major achievements was expanding the trade routes of Ancient Egypt. Most notably was an expedition to the Land of Punt, which became a major trade partner supplying Egypt with gold, resin, wood, ivory, and wild animals. Scholars still debate the exact location of Ancient Punt, but many believe it to be roughly modern-day Somalia to Sudan.
In the deserts of Egypt lie the colossal remains of an ancient civilization. These enormous works of human endeavor are the only member of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World that time has passed down to us. These are, of course, the great pyramids of ancient Egypt. But these imposing structures were not built to impress civilization millennia down the road. The pyramids in fact had a purpose to the ancient Egyptians. While they seem very simple in nature, as they are simply four-sided pyramids with square bases, they had a meaning for those that had them built. Even by today’s standards, the pyramids of ancient Egypt were an impressive feat of engineering, due to their enormous size, both in building materials and finished product.
