Hatshepsut

Hatshepsut lived during the Egyptian Period of the New Kingdom. She ruled in the Eighteenth Egyptian Dynasty and  reigned from 1472 BC - 1457 BC until she was succeeded by Amenhotep II. Because she was pharaoh, she was considered to be a living God and worshiped as a deity. Her father was Thutmose I and her mother was Queen Ahmose. Her husband and consort was Thutmose II. Hatshepsut eventually died in 1475 BC.
