Thutmose III

Thutmose III was the sixth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled all of Egypt for about a decade from around 990 to 980 B.C. He succeeded his father Thutmose II, ruled in his childhood alongside his mother Hatshepsut, and was succeeded by his son Amenhotep II. Essentially nothing is known about this pharaoh in the revised history, as nearly all inscriptions attributed to him by the traditional history belong to Menkheperre Piankhi.

Thutmose was the son of Thutmose II, who was the son of Thutmose I, who was the son of Amenhotep I. He had at least one son, Amenhotep II who succeeded him.

About 1015 B.C., Thutmose III was born. About five years later, his father Thutmose II died, and passed the throne on to Thutmose III. However, he was too young to rule, so his mother Hatshepsut ruled in his infancy. She ruled as pharaoh for twenty or more years, and upon her death Thutmose became pharaoh. His reign was likely uneventful as it was short, and all of his achievements in the traditional history actually belong to Menkheperre Piankhi of the 25th Dynasty.

Thutmose was a very sickly ruler, and died young as his mummy shows. Due to this, he appointed his son Amenhotep II coregent with him in his last few years. He died very quickly after this, and Amenhotep succeeded him.
