Menkheperre Thutmose III (1481 – 1425 BCE), also known as Thutmose Manahpirya, Tuthmosis III or Thothmes, was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt.
Biography[edit | edit source]
During his reign, he conducted eight military campaigns in ten years, capturing major cities, including Megiddo, and creating one of the largest empires Egypt had ever seen.[1] He also commisioned an obelisk, which would occupy a place of prominence outside the temple of Karnak. The hieroglyphs on the obelisk's four sides recounted the tales of some of the Pharaoh's greatest military victories.[2] The type of sword utilized by his common troops were so effective that by the end of the Ptolemaic dynasty, it would be named the Thutmosid Sword after him.[1]
Thutmose's obelisk in Karnak was pilfered by the Roman Emperor Constantius II and taken to Alexandria in 357. It was later moved to Constantinople by Emperor Theodosius I and placed in the Hippodrome.[2]
