The four main ocean basins are those of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic Oceans. The Pacific Ocean, which occupies about one-third of Earth's surface, has the largest basin. Its basin also has the greatest average depth at approximately 14,000 feet (4,300 meters).
Hatshepsut came to the throne of Egypt in 1478 BC. Officially, she ruled jointly with Thutmose III who had ascended to the throne as a child one year earlier. Hatshepsut was the chief wife of Thutmose II, Thutmose IIIâs father. She is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, reigning longer than any other woman of an indigenous Egyptian dynasty.
Hatshepsut was no ordinary Egyptian ruler. After her husband died, Hatshepsut didnât just keep the âthroneâ warm for her stepson to come of age. She became a pharaoh in her own right, and in doing so, became one of ancient Egyptâs first female rulers. While there were likely two or three female pharaohs during the âdynasticâ period, Hatshepsut is considered to be the most successful; she ruled for at least 15 years and was a prolific builder.
