Hatshepsut starts a program of aggressive trade with the outside world. She commissions her architect, Senenmut, to build an impressive funerary temple on the side of a mountain. After her death, her heir, Thutmose III tries to erase her image from public buildings, but abandons that effort in favor of pursuing his military program.
