PHARAOHS

The king of Kemet called Pharaoh in the 18th dynasty, which means the Great House to acknowledge a god ruled the country and the world under the protection and benevolent house of god, united under one roof.

The Pharaoh himself trained throughout his life in fighting, killing, archery, warfare, horsemanship, giving of commands, accessing an enemy’s strengths and weaknesses, ensuring the right plunder selected, executing decrees to opposing king to exact tribute types, amounts, and times. Pharaoh always the Commander in Chief present with his generals, captains, and soldiers in military campaigns. No other ensure Pharaoh’s satisfaction and fulfillment of plunder, bloodlust, exacting tribute, slaves, selecting the most beautiful females for their harem, or in exceptional cases, consort or perhaps even as a minor wife if negotiations or desires demanded by other than Pharaoh himself.

The third Pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty, Thutmose I, followed the gods’ tradition since Osiris slept with his sister Isis. Thutmose I married his sister, his primary wife Ahmose-Meritamon, to become his queen. Kemetics followed directions of a linage former victorious priest chieftains, claimed triumph from gods. Victorious priest chieftains became leaders, and kings among men wanted to set themselves to rule the world for themselves and their children’s children to keep the country’s power and throne within the same family, dominant men, as gods.

Thutmose I and his sister-wife Ahmose-Meritamon were the model Kemetic royal family. Thutmose I and Ahmose-Meritamon had two children, their eldest as boy Amenmose and a daughter Khnumt-Amun Hatshepsut. Peace in the Pharaoh’s Palace, throughout the country, as both a son and a daughter, eventually bond in marriage carry on ruling the country as custom to keep the throne’s power within the same family, the great house of the Pharaoh.

Amenmose and Hatshepsut were born to Thutmose and Ahmose-Meritamon before Thutmose I taking the throne. Thutmose made co-regent to be heir to the throne of Kemet. Thutmose’s sister Ahmose-Meritamon as the chief wife with their children Amenmose and Hatshepsut, expected to know each other sexually produce children for power to remain under the same great house forever.

Hatshepsut, as a princess, was told she would be queen someday. Hatshepsut believes when she grew up and became queen, and she then rules Kemet and the world. Hatshepsut said to her mother, the queen, and she did not want to wait to grow up to become queen and rule the world. Her mother explains boys are kings, and girls are their wives and the queen. Kings rule the world of men, attend affairs of state and tribute of foreign nations. Wives provide heirs to the throne and care for the household. Hatshepsut replies she prefers to rule the world.

I want people to follow my orders to build my temples to see and worship me as a god. My dear, you have to understand it is a man mounts woman his seed in her she carries it to deliver children, both male and female. These children of yours are to marry and have children, males, and females, to continue in the same line. Your brother will be king, Pharaoh of Kemet, and you will be his great wife as you are his full sister and our eldest daughter.

Hatshepsut replies: I do not want to have children. You must have children, or you cannot be a goddess and ruler of Kemet.

The best you can hope for is to be queen at the husband’s side. But what happens when I outlive my husband? Then your son, through him, will take his place as king and Pharaoh of Kemet. But what if I have no sons? Then it will be sure your husband the king will have a son through another woman, perhaps a consort, should she bear him a son, she becomes a minor wife, and he being the eldest male heir, follow in your husband’s place as king Pharaoh of Kemet. What if the child is too young to rule? It does not matter how old he is; he becomes king and Pharaoh of Kemet. If he is too young to lead, the Vizier then seek the gods to follow the linage and assign a co-regent to rule in his stead until he is of age.

Hatshepsut says: this is not fair, and perhaps I should be a man. She dresses in a boy’s kilt and wears a crown playing; she the king and ruled all of Kemet and Earth.

Hatshepsut resented her elder brother and had strife between them as brothers and sisters do. Thutmose I saw a beautiful virgin Mutnofret, Mut is Beautiful, while visiting the temple of Mut. Thutmose I took Mutmofret as a minor wife and had a son Wadjmose. Thutmose I loved Mutmofret and told her their son Wadjmose to be heir should anything become of Amenmose. Amenmose and Wadjmose raised together, being trained and groomed for ruling Kemet. Amenmose named heir with Wadjmose as possible second heir should anything become of Amenmose. Hatshepsut had a desire for power and knew it to be her husband, or one of his sons become Pharaoh, and these men stopped her rise and ability to be a supreme ruler.

Hatshepsut recognized she would never come to prominence with her older brother Amenmose on the throne. Both Hatshepsut’s brother Amenmose and her half-brother Wadjmose jeopardize Hatshepsut’s rise to power and succession to the throne. Hatshepsut knew Amenmose and Wadjmose must die as had a preceding claim to the throne. Their deaths serve as a sign from the gods. Hatshepsut has to plan, time, and execute each of their deaths, so she controls and does not trust others. Death by natural causes and not raise suspicion of her plan or involvement. She does not risk trusting anyone and trust no one keeping this plan for power to herself for such a thing to happen. Hatshepsut hatched a plan to position herself as queen.

Should her brother Amenmose and half-brother Wadjmose die, she then marries her younger half-brother Thutmose II, ruling with Thutmose II, adoring her and controls. Both Thutmose I eldest sons, from each of his two wives, died before taking the throne.

Thutmose I became pharaoh with the throne name Aa-kheperkare, Great Soul of Ra, married to his sister chief wife, Ahmose-Meritamon, and minor wife, Mutnofret. Thutmose I ruled Kemet for fourteen years. His daughter Hatshepsut and his oldest living son Thutmose II named heir to the throne. Hatshepsut’s brother Amenmose and her half-brother Wadjmose then inexplicably die.

Hatshepsut is then to marry her younger half-brother Thutmose II which adored her, and she the queen with a husband she controls, Hatshepsut younger half-brother Thutmose II looked up to her and did anything she asked. Pharaoh Thutmose II and his half-sister great wife Hatshepsut had a daughter Neferure. Neferure grew up in the palace.

Hatshepsut knew no matter how many children she bore Thutmose II, it always her half-brother-husband or his sons ruling the throne and not her herself. Hatshepsut developed a close adviser Hapuseneb as High Priest of Amun; she had Vizier. Hatshepsut older, and Thutmose II, a young man, and at an age, he did not get his fill of sexual pleasures. Hatshepsut older and no longer had a desire or motivation to lay with her half-brother husband, Thutmose II.

In the ninth year of his reign, Thutmose II took a concubine, Iset (or Isis), and had a son Thutmose Neferkheperu the only son of Thutmose II and to be heir to the throne. Hatshepsut a strong, determined, and jealous woman; she does not want to take a second chair to her husband’s concubine or bastard children. Hatshepsut would have to be the only surviving heir to the previous pharaoh Thutmose I and his chief wife, Ahmose-Meritamon, for claims to the throne. Hatshepsut determined that even if she did not bear any more children, she would devise a plan to be co-regent while the heir to the throne, her bastard stepson Thutmose III too young to rule.

Thutmose III’s mother is a commoner and not noble birth; she does not claim to the throne of Upper and Lower Kemet. Hatshepsut acting as co-regent to the infant Thutmose III, would have total control over all of Kemet if her husband died early.

Hatshepsut decided to poison her husband over time slowly. Taking apricots, she removes the kernels and grinds them to make arsenic. Hatshepsut feeds fresh sliced apricots sprinkled with arsenic to her half-brother husband Pharaoh Thutmose II in the heat of the day. She splashes a little in his water or drink. Thutmose II slowly lost his appetite. After a few months later, he developed itching and break out into a skin rash. Hatshepsut hastens the arsenic’s effect by combining the arsenic with copper or lead, strengthening the compound, and making a lotion very lethal. She uses the cream while her half-brother-husband and Pharaoh Thutmose II bathed, trying to relieve the effects on him and his skin. If given too much at once, the poisoning is apparent, causing massive vomiting of blood and death immediately. If given slowly, the victim merely loses appetite and develop nausea. Over time the arsenic effects made the skin rash worse, and he started to lose his hair.

Hatshepsut applies the arsenic-laced lotion all over his scabrous body. Hatshepsut used this time of trouble and suffering to console her half-brother-husband stepson, gaining his trust while applying the cause of his death. Hatshepsut personally made her half-brother-husband desserts, pies or tarts, apricot pudding laced with arsenic. She made them and personally fed Thutmose II. He did not refuse the delicious treats and became ill as he eats....
