Hatshepsut assumes pharaonic rule at Thebes

ca. 1479-1473 BCE · Thebes / Luxor

Thebes becomes the place where a regency turns into kingship, forcing Egypt to absorb a woman into the full public costume of pharaonic rule.

Hatshepsut keeps the event human because constitutional improvisation is carried here by one person who must become publicly legible as king in order to govern at all.
