Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt's few female pharaohs, is believed to have usurped the throne from her stepson, Thutmose III. After the death of her husband and half-brother, Thutmose II, she initially served as regent for the young Thutmose III. However, she eventually declared herself pharaoh and ruled as a co-regent, effectively sidelining him during her reign.
