These were the "Horus Name", "Golden Horus Name" and the "Two Ladies" (Upper and Lower Egypt). The name of "King of Upper and Lower Egypt," was used by other queens. "Son of Ra Known as Hatshepsut" or "Maat-Ka-Ra" (Truth is the genius of the Sun God), was bestowed upon her by Amon himself. Some princesses of the 17th dynasty have previously been named so. Both "Maat-Ka-Ra" and "Hatshepsut" were depicted inside a cartouche.
Knowing that she is an usurper, Hatshepsut forged evidence to legitimize her position to the throne of Egypt. The first might have been her claim of a true co-ruling with her father Tuthmose I.

Study of these particular writings has shown to have been superimposed over a more skillfully defaced writing or text. .
The second forgery is shown in a temple south of el-Minia that was built by Hatshepsut sometime between her 10th-17th regal years. A small temple was carved into the rocks dedicated to the cat-headed goddess Pakhet. The fazade of the temple was placed so high on the cliff wall to avoid any defacing of the writings there upon. There she made a long recording of her supremacy forever. In extreme boasting, she announced the theme of her reign, which she basically stated that she rebuilt the land of Egypt.

She not only tried to attribute herself to the resurrection of Osiris but also credited herself with getting rid of the Hyksos dynasty.

"I raised up what was dismembered, even from the time when the Asiatic were in the midst of (the Delta), overthrowing what had been created.
