Hatshepsut was actually a female pharaoh. She ruled from 1473 BC to 1458 BC. After her husband died, she took over the government and ruled for her stepson Tuthmosis III, who was only five years old at the time. She held power for about 20 years and during this time great temples were built and re-built.
