Queen Hatshepsut seems to be the most important female ruler of Ancient Egypt history. Yet her name seems to have been deliberately omitted from the Abydos king list. From the reconstruction of the Saqqara king list I've seen, her name doesn't seem to appear there as well. The Karnak list attributed to the reign of her successor doesn't mention her, but this last list doesn't mention most rulers. The Turin king list is damaged.

At first I thought that the lists don't recognize female rulers, since the Abydos list omits the name of Sobekneferu as well, but the Saqqara and Karnak lists mention Sobekneferu under her throne name Sobek-kare.

I've read somewhere that the Abydos list omits the name of foreigners, usurpers and heretics, to try and erase them from memory. This makes sense as to why the names of the "Amarna heretics" are removed, and why the list skips the whole list of rulers from the 2nd Intermediatd Period. However, this seems inconsistent, since the list jumps from the 8th dynasty during the 1st Intermediate Period to Mentuhotep II, and I could think of a couple of rulers who usurped the throne but were still named (like Userkare, not mentioned in the Saqqara list). Moreover, Hatshepsut is neither a usurper, foreigner, nor a religious heretic. Therefore, I don't understand the logic behind the Abydos king list, especially for Hatshepsut who was in people's fresh memory, unlike rulers from the OK or MK. Why was she omitted?
