Queen HATSHEPSUT's ship
 

Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh of Egypt for 21 years, from 1479 BC to 1458 BC. Before becoming pharaoh, she helped Thutmose II rule Egypt as his ‘Great Royal Wife’. When her husband died, Hatshepsut was named regent for her step-son, who was still a young child. She took the throne herself after a message from the gods sanctioned her right to rule, and decided to wear the complete regalia of a male pharaoh, including a false beard.

During Hatshepsut's reign, she took on a challenge and commissioned the building a sea-faring ships which sailed down the Red Sea to the port of Punt, a wealthy trading city (later known as the ancient Greeks.)

Hatshepsut had the expedition commemorated in relief at Deir el-Bahari, which is also famous for its realistic depiction of Queen Ati of the Land of Punt. Hatshepsut also sent raiding expeditions to Byblos and the Sinai Peninsula shortly after the Punt expedition. Many historians believe she led military campaigns against Nubia and Canaan.

Queen Hatshepsut ruled for 22 years, longer than any female ruler before or after her. Her reign is well-known for increased prosperity, large-scale construction projects such as the Karnak Temple Complex, Speos Artemidos, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and Red Chapel of Hatshepsut--a marvel of architecture. She left behind a remarkable record of buildings and sculptures, commissioning hundreds of construction projects throughout Egypt.

Queen Hatshepsut had her own royal yacht. The detailed information of this ship was found by Egyptologists in the form of models and intricate wall paintings in the mortuary temple of the queen at Deir el Bahari in Thebes. The 18th Dynasty marked the height of the Egyptian empire and queen Hatshepsut's ship is a reminder of her power and wisdom.
