She was born in 1507 BCE as the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I and his first wife Ahmose.
Her parents had a total of 3 sons and 2 daughters, but unfortunately all except Hatshepsut passed away before her father Thutmose I died.
Her husband and half brother Thutmose II was born in 1510 BCE, he was the son of Thutmose I and a minor wife Mutnofret.

In order to support her cause she claimed that the god Amun had taken the form of her father and visited her mother, Amun then told her mother that Hatshepsut was the result of divine union.
By doing this she proclaimed herself to be the daughter of God, she then further justified her claim to the throne by declaring that the God Amun-Ra had spoken to her, saying: “Welcome my sweet daughter, my favorite, the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Maatkare, Hatshepsut. Thou art the king, taking possession of the Two Lands.”
From this point onwards she started to refer to herself as “Lady of the Two Lands” or as the “Female Falcon”.
