She made Egypt wealthier and traded with others.

She did many things. She wore a fake beard. She told people she was the son born of virgin birth from her mother and the God Amon. She built an amazing temple to herself and had the above story painted on a wall. Other walls were painted with scenes from her biggest trade exhibition to the Kingdom of Punt on the southern end of the Red Sea. She had two obelisks built in her honor at the entrance to her tomb, along with 200 sphinx statues.

Hatshepsut's legacy is also extant in the enduring architectural innovations she incorporated into her building program. The design of Djeser-Djeseru is a prime example; although there exist a few doubtful precursors of the terraced template originality of the design cannot be gainsaid.' The thematic structure of the three terraces, from her role as pharaoh, to legitimization of her rule and achievements, to the worship of the deities is indisputably her own invention, as were the ramps linking them, imitating the glory of a sun's ray. Thutmose III modeled his mortuary temple on Hatshepsut's whilst Akhenaten incorporated the design of the ramps into his own buildings. Similarly, the design of Hatshepsut's tomb, with the three successive passageways leading to the burial chamber, her royal sarcophagus, her resting stations for Amun's barque were likewise replicated by her successors. Therefore, Hatshepsut's reign was characterized by a myriad of architectural innovations that became her legacy, to be admiringly integrated into the buildings of the future generations of pharaohs.

As a ruler, Hatshepsut inaugurated building projects that far outstripped those of her predecessors. In Egypt proper, she launched a number of building projects. At the temple complex of Karnak, she erected a series of obelisks and built a "Palace of Ma'at," a rectangular structure that was composed of "a series of small rooms with a large central hall for the placement of the central bark [a small ceremonial boat]. The walls of the palace were covered with carved and brightly painted relief scenes of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III.
