Queen Hatshepsut was the first Egyptian woman ruler. Hatshepsut was very sensitive in that the pharaohs sought power over individuals, making them slaves and having different ranks for the kingdom. Hatshepsut united these ranks where everyone was in equal view. When examining the burial sites between the Queen and previous pharaohs, the pharaoh distinguished his burial site from anyone else. He tried to make it as big and as grand as the "heavens". Meaning he wanted it to be bigger and known to all of Egypt. while the queen made plans for her burial site to built in the montinous area and it blinded while the pharaohs stood out and was very bold, because he wanted everyone that passed the tomb to know that he had been the current pharaoh and there was none better than him. While the queen was very humble and wanted people to know that she was as equal as them, I also believe her temple was much more modest because she believed that she was inferior to the pharaoh and to have a burial chamber as grand as him would mean that she was over stepping her place as a female.
