Template:Stub Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt. She was believed to be a co-regent from 1479 to 1458 B.C. with her stepson Thutmose III. Hatshepsut is credited with being the earliest known queen regnant in history and the second woman known (there are rumors of other previous female rulers) to hold the throne as "King of Upper and Lower Egypt". The first was Queen Latifa of the Twelfth Dynasty.
