THE THEORY THAT SHE USURPED THE THRONE IS NOW MOSTLY REJECTED
After the death of her husband Thutmose II, Hatshepsut was made regent till her young stepson, Thutmose III, came of age. This was in keeping with the traditions in ancient Egypt. However, by the seventh year of her reign, Hatshepsut was recognized as the pharaoh and not the queen. Though there are a few exceptions, it was very rare for a female to assume the duties of the pharaoh. Hatshepsut was the de facto ruler of ancient Egypt for around 20 years. This makes her the longest reigning female pharaoh from an indigenous dynasty of ancient Egypt. Early Egyptologists believed that she was a usurper who played devious politics to assume and maintain power. However, it is now believed that this was not the case. Perhaps a political crisis, like a threat from a competing branch of the royal family, led to Hatshepsut declaring herself as pharaoh. Once she assumed power, the God-like attributes associated with a pharaoh in ancient Egypt, might have made it difficult for her to step down.
