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
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]
