Hatshepsut - Officials Nobles (2 Viewers)

[Chelle]

I cant find much information on Hatshepsut and the relationship with Officials and Nobles, and of course the Amun Priesthood.

Plus the information i do have mentions Senenmut, is he a official? Could you bring that in the question (if theres one on this)

Any help, whether it be links, books, or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

senenmut was hatshepsut's director of building, he directed the building of dier el bahari, her mortuary temple. he also disappeared a while into her reign with no metion about it with many different historians giving different resons, sorry you will have to find them yourself. some believed he was having a relationship with hatshepsut because he was made the tutor of neferure, hatshepsut's daughter. while others still believe that he was neferure's father.
the amun priesthood was the main support for hatshepsut's claim to the throne, because of their support she was able to claim the throne and hold it, eventhought there were many factions supporting thutmose III as well.

hope this helped a bit, i'll try to find some more stuff about other officials that supported her and track down the historians as well.

Hey if you want information then just look through the Pamela Bradley book "Ancient Egypt, reconstructing the past" It is very helpful and has heaps of sources, Also Antiquity 2 and 3 are very good for information.
