Author’s Note
“Certainty plays little role in the history of Hatshepsut. The nature of the information passed down to us is uneven, and because so many of her monuments were destroyed, the jumble of perceptions we are left with are from other people, many of whom lived millennia after her death. … Maps Chronology (based on Handbook of Oriental Studies) Endnotes “Further reading” Index of names and terms
Author’s Note “… I have had to break many rules of my Egyptological training in order to resurrect and reanimnate Hatshepsut’s intentions, ambitions, and disappointments by engaging in conjecture and speculations, and creating untestable hypotheses as I attempt to fill out her character and decision-making processes (even though I document my sources and accentuate my uncertainties) … track … follow the clues … fill out the circumstances … as I go.
… I have used all my skills as a researcher, but I have also allowed myself to think out aloud, to infer and imagine, in a way I would not do in my other work. “ 1991

Polish-Egyptian Mission Since 1961 - begun by Professor Kazimierz Michalowski What follows: Translations of relevant passages from the biographies of some of the high officials in the time of Hatsehpsut. The texts are found in the anthology of hieroglyphic inscriptions Urkunden des Neuen Reiches IV http://etana.org/sites/default/files/coretexts/15133.pdf
Ineni – from his biography in his tomb TT 81 (Luxor)
Ahmes-Pennekhbet – from his biography in his tomb in Elkab (south of Thebes) The autobiography of Ineni The accession of Thutmosis III (Urk IV 59.16 - 60.4) “His (Thutmosis II's) son (Thutmosis III) took his place as king of the Two Lands. He ruled on the throne of him who had begotten him. His (Thutmosis II's) sister, the God's Wife Hatshepsut cared for the land (Hr iri.t m-Xr tA), the Two Lands lived according to her plans, one served her, Egypt being submissive. The excellent seed of the god that issued forth from him, was she, the bow warp of Egypt, the mooring post of the southerners, the excellent stern warp was she, a mistress of commands, whose plans were excellent; the Two Lands were calmed when she spoke.”
Translated from the anthology of hieroglyphic inscriptions Urkunden des Neuen Reiches IV by Susanne Binder Autobiographical inscription of Ahmose Pennekhbet List of the rulers under whom he served: Urk IV 34.16-17
“I accompanied the Kings of Upper and Lower Egypt, the gods under whom I lived, on their journeys to the southern and northern foreign lands, and to every (other) place to which they (went); namely the King of Upper and Lower Egypt Neb-pehty-Re (Ahmose I), the justified, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt Djeser-ka-Re (Amenhotep I), the justified, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt Aa-kheper-ka-Re (Thutmosis I), the justified, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt Aa-kheper-n.y-Re (Thutmosis II), the justified, up to this good god, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt Men-kheper-Re (Thutmosis III), may he be given life for ever. … …The God's Wife, the Great Royal Wife Maat-ka-Re (Hatshepsut), justified, also showed me favour. I raised her daughter, the daughter of the king, Neferure, justified, when she was a child at the breast.”
…written in the time of Thutmosis III (sole rule)
