Thutmose III: Great Pharaoh And Leader

Kamose knew it was time to fight. He wanted to become the next liberator of Egypt. Historians believe that Kamose and his army departed North into the Hyksos territory.

The thirty-eight-year reign of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Amenhotep III was a period of unparalleled stability and wealth in the history of the New Kingdom. During the reign of Amenhotep III, Egypt grew to be the world’s “Super Power,” and had great influence on a large scale. The key features of his reign included:

Amenhotep IV better known as Akhenaten is one of the most interesting pharaohs to have ever ruled over Egypt (BBC). He changed his name to Akhenaton, which means 'the servant of Aten' early in his reign (ehistory). He came into power around 1353 BCE and stayed in power for 17 years (BBC). His wife was queen Nefertiti and they had six daughters, he also fathered king Tut (BBC). Akhenaten was a true visionary as he made revolutionary changes to the religion and art of Ancient Egypt.

Thutmose III BY: Ryan hurlbut Thutmose was a warrior king. He grew up with his father who died when he was young. He also grew up with his stepmother Hatshepsut.

Thutmose is known as “the warrior” because of his military achievements, his royal scribe, his army commander, and his conquering of many lands.The prime reason why Thutmose III was able to conquer such a large number lands is because of the revolution and improvement in his army weapons. Thutmose III encountered only a little resistance from neighboring kingdoms, allowing him to expand his realm of influence easily. Thutmose III was able to take over lands easily. (according to www.crystalinks.com/Thutmose_III.html )

Hatshepsut was born circa 1508 B.C. in Egypt. Hatshepsut was born to the Egyptian King Thutmose I and queen Ahmose. It was expected from a young age that Hatshepsut would one day be queen, like her mother. Her career in politics began when she ruled as queen alongside her husband, Thutmose II. After his death, the thrown was supposed to go to a male who was only an infant at the time. Acting as his regent, Hatshepsut began making most of the important decisions and ultimately became pharaoh of Egypt. Economic prosperity is what Hatshepsut focused most of her time on. While other pharaohs were primarily focused on building and restoring monuments, Hatshepsut wanted Egypt to prosper and acquire new land. Though she most certainly had to face hardships along the way, Hatshepsut ruled for nearly 20 years and was one of Egypt’s most successful pharaohs (Hatshepsut Biography).

Ramses the Great sighed the world's first peace treaty,this peace lasted until 1190 B.C.E. He also built hundreds of statues of himself all over egypt so he can show egypt who the pharaoh was.

Two of the fundamental roles that wealth can play with respect to war are (1) legitimizing military leadership and social/military hierarchies and (2) motivating leaders to fight either for plunder of for control of scarce resources. Both of these intertwined roles are evident in the historical records of Tuthmosis III in New Kingdom Egypt and Sargon of Akkad, and wealth motivated them both in similar ways.

Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty her throne name was "Maatkare", which means “the truth in the soul of the sun”. The new kingdom consists of dynasty 18th, 19th and the 20th. Hatshepsut ruled in the 18th dynasty and she was one of the few female pharaohs in Egypt. She was a member of the Thutmosid line of kings of the early new Kingdome with her father being Thutmose the first who married into the family to become pharaoh (wasn’t royal blood). Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose the second who was named pharaoh. Marrying Hatshepsut (the daughter of the king) confirmed his right to rule despite the fact that his mother was not of royal blood and neither was his father originally.

Thutmose III, after reaching a certain age, was appointed commander of the armies. He then ruled by Hatshepsut’s side until, Thutmose III got the support of the nobles and with his legitimate claim took over the title of pharaoh and had Hatshepsut step down as acting pharaoh. In the first few months of his accession to the throne, there was a rebellion

Thutmose I was the third pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt. He ruled after the death of the previous king, Amenhotep I, who may or may not have been his father. Thutmose I elongated Egypt's borders significantly, and had many temples built, as well as his own tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Moreover, he was the father of Queen Hatshesput, as well as the lesser Thutmose II.

Ramses the Great was born around 1303 BC. Ramses was named after his grandfather, Ramses I. When Ramses was around 5 years old his father, Seti I, became the Pharaoh of Egypt. Ramses brother was in line to take the throne of Egypt, but sadly died when Ramses was 14. Ramses then was in line to be the next Pharaoh of Egypt. Ramses later became the Pharaoh of Egypt when he was

Ramses had a harsh and profound life, yet he was able to accomplish, build, and expand so many ideas across Egypt and even into today. Ramses II made most decisions based on his involvement whether that was war, politics, or ruling. Egypt had to rely on Ramses II to be Pharaoh when his father died. This step in which Ramses had to take at the age of 19 was hard to fulfill with only some training by his father. Ramses was able to accomplish many innovations that have survived to be around today. As ruler Ramses was also the leader of his army and led many battles including the famous war between the Egyptians and Hittites. Ramses created the first treaty to be written down after a war. Ramses has been known to be one of the most profound

Narmer was the most important pharaoh because he united Egypt

Ptolemy, Alexander’s general who became the Egyptian Pharaoh following the death of Alexander, narrates the story at an old age to scribes in Egypt. Ptolemy, a primary source for many of the events in the history of Alexander, did, in fact, write down his accounts of those events. Unfortunately, those documents no longer exist. Understandably, the film does not attempt to cover all of the battles in which Alexander and his troops fought, rather it basically covers two of the major battles in spectacular cinematic fashion. Sadly, it seems, those battles are wrought with historical inaccuracies. One must understand the impossibility of putting a 12-year campaign, plus a childhood in one movie, however one would expect the included history to be accurate.
