While both Nefertiti and Hatshepsut have been credited with being successful in the 18th dynasty this has never really been measured statistically comparing them to their male counterparts in any aspect. While this is too large and expansive to address in a singular research project with all its aspects it can be broken down into separate parts and addressed in that manner. Thus, this research project will only be analyzing and comparing female and male pharaohs in the 18th dynasty through their portrayal on temples to try and better determine how successful female pharaohs were in the 18th dynasty.
