Hatshepsut • To gain favor, she even began dressing like a king wearing a false beard that was a symbol of the pharaoh’s power • Her rule was peaceful but she must have had some enemies. • At some time, Hatshepsut’s name and images were chipped out of carving and many of her statues were smashed

  6. Ramses • Ramses II ruled 200 years after Hatshepsut • While Hatshepsut tried to bring peace through trade, Ramses did through war. • He led his army against many powerful people. According to Ramses, he won a great victory without much help from his soldiers.
