Pharaoh Hatshepsut: Egypt’s Female Ruler Who Trained A Military Genius

Before claiming the throne herself, Hatshepsut served as regent for her young stepson Thutmose III. Temple inscriptions show she established a specialized military school specifically for him. She personally supervised his education in strategy, religion, and governance. She ensured he commanded actual military expeditions as training. Her guidance prepared him to eventually become Egypt’s greatest warrior pharaoh after her death.
