Hatshepsut (Pharaoh of Egypt) expanded trade routes and Egypt’s economy grew much greatly during her rule. She was the first female pharaoh, ruling in place of her 10-year-old step son. She sent trade ships down to Punt to trade for leopard skins, red woods, greyhounds, cheetahs, gold, ivory (elephant tusk), and ostrich feathers.
Hatshepsut was the fifth Pharaoh of the18th-dynasty who was one of the handful of female rulers in Ancient Egypt. Her reign was the longest of all the female pharaohs. Her funerary temple still stands as a tribute to her incredible rise to power.

Hatshepsut belonged to the Nile River civilization. Hatshepsut was a princess and the wife of a Pharaoh. She took the throne when her husband died. Her young step son was so posed to take the throne but she pro claimed that the ten-year old boy was to young to rule Egypt on his own.
Hatshepsut built an enormous tomb. It’s filled with jewels, animals, and statue Gods that Egyptians worshiped. Her tomb is located in the Valley of the Kings (in Egypt). Her tomb was carved out of a stone mountain. Soon after she died her step son reclaimed the throne.
I disagree with your score based on the Student Blog Project Rubric and the project guidelines. Where is the introduction? What was the impact?
