Hatshepsut

Hatshepsut gained control of Egypt and took control of it from the Pharaoh she was a regent for . In fact Hatshepsut even donned the male,Egyptian, Pharaoh beard piece. She brought much wealth to Egypt by way of expeditions into Nubia and beyond. many great buildings and statues were built in her time. But when she died someone, perhaps a Pharaoh decided to remove her from history by chiseling her image out of walls, destroying her statues, and hiding her buildings.
