Queen Hatshepsut's reign came to an end around 1458 BCE, likely due to her death. After her passing, her stepson, Thutmose III, sought to erase her legacy, removing her images and inscriptions, and emphasizing his own rule. This effort was part of a broader move to restore traditional male lineage to the throne, as Hatshepsut had assumed a male persona during her reign. Ultimately, her contributions were largely obscured for centuries until modern archaeologists rediscovered her achievements.
