How did Hatshepsut change Egypt during her reign as pharaoh?
A. She expanded Egypt by engaging in wars of conquest.
B. She founded a new dynasty that ruled Egypt for generations.
C. She established Alexandria as a major center of learning.
D. She increased Egypt's wealth by expanding trade.
My answer was b.
To verify the correct answer, let's analyze the options one by one and eliminate the ones that are not true.
A. She expanded Egypt by engaging in wars of conquest.
Hatshepsut's reign was relatively peaceful, focused more on trade and building projects rather than military conquest. So, option A is not correct.
B. She founded a new dynasty that ruled Egypt for generations.
This is correct. During her reign, Hatshepsut established the Eighteenth Dynasty, which continued to rule Egypt after her death. This dynasty produced several powerful rulers, including Thutmose III and Amenhotep III.
C. She established Alexandria as a major center of learning.
This option is not correct. Alexandria as a center of learning was established later during the Hellenistic period by Alexander the Great.
D. She increased Egypt's wealth by expanding trade.
This is also correct. Hatshepsut initiated successful trading expeditions to neighboring regions, such as Punt (modern-day Somalia), which brought back valuable resources and increased Egypt's wealth.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Hatshepsut founded a new dynasty that ruled Egypt for generations.
