Muslim architecture incorporated Roman and Byzantine elements because <em>Muslims valued Roman and Bizantine architectural styles the most</em>.

After the conquering of Constantinople by Mehemed, from the Ottoman Empire in 1453, Muslims incorporated the Islamic elements into the Byzantine structures. They were impressed by the fine details in Christian mosaics and some of the Muslims edifications had Christian influences.

One of the differences of the Islamic use of mosaics in art is that they were created with few human figures.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The statement best shows her role in the New Kingdom is the following:

"Hatshepsut became the first female pharaoh to rule Egypt."

After the death of Pharaoh Thutmose II, the pharaoh's chief wife, Hatshepsut, served as regent to young Thutmose III. She later took over full control and appointed herself as the pharaoh.

Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III, and Tutankhamun ruled Egypt during the New Kingdom.

These ancient Egyptian Pharaohs ruled in what historians call the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. This dynasty started in 1549 BC and ended in 1292 BC, and is considered to be a period of great accomplishments for the Egyptians and exerted so much power in the Nile River region. Its importance was so big at the time that some historians have named this period the Thutmosid era. During this dynasty, Egypt was ruled by two women Pharaohs: Nefemeferuaten and Hatshepsut. Both Pharaohs had a great deal of success in a time where only men used to govern the lands.
