Hatshepsut: a faraonic piece. Hatshepsut was an 18th dynasty pharaoh who was one of the few female rulers in Ancient Egypt. Her reign was the longest of all the female pharaohs. When her two brothers died, she was in the unique position to gain the throne when her father died. A female pharaoh was unprecedented. Queen Hatshepsut organised an oversea trade mission to the land of Punt, the horn of Africa. From there they imported the resins gained from the incense-tree they needed for religious occasions.
