King Tuthmosis III: Conqueror and Builder of the Egyptian Empire

And we came back again with a story from the time of the ancients… a story written in history about a great hero… a leader and king who founded the largest empire in the ancient East and military battles that are still taught in military insтιтutes and colleges… a hero whose name was engraved in letters of gold on the forehead of the history of ancient Egypt and took his place. He was great among the kings of his time, and I personally love him very much.


Talk about King Tuthmosis III, one of the greatest kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty. He is the son of King Tuthmosis II, and his stepmother is Queen Hatshepsut, who was his aunt at the same time, because the ancient kings of Egypt used to marry brother to sister because of their desire not to mix royal blood with other common people, and this custom was only among kings, but as for the common people, this was not the case. The habit exists.


After the death of King Thutmose II, his crown prince was King Thutmose III, and because he was young and his mother was not of royal blood (because she was a secondary wife to the king)… So the guardian of the crown prince was his father’s wife, Queen Hatshepsut. But she coveted power and seized it for herself, and her rule lasted twenty years. After that, power pᴀssed to King Thutmose III, who took advantage of Hatshepsut’s reign to learn martial arts and war, and he was the first-class military commander.


After his rule, King Tuthmosis III carried out 16 or more military campaigns outside the borders of Egypt, including Nubia, Syria, and others, so he was called the Napoleon of the ancient era, as we said previously. But he is unfair in this comparison, in my view, because he did not lose any military campaign he fought, unlike Napoleon. He went out every summer for 18 years, fighting in Syria, where about 350 cities fell under his control. He also fought military campaigns against West Asian countries.


King Tuthmosis III was the first to divide armies into a core and two wings and the first to study the battlefield.
He fought a major military battle that is still taught in military insтιтutes to this day… it is the site of (Megiddo), where he succeeded in eliminating an alliance of more than 330 princes led by the prince of (Kadesh). He ordered his soldiers to march in a rugged mountainous area to surprise the enemies, and they actually succeeded in controlling them.

The princes and those with them fled to the fortresses of the city of Megiddo in Palestine, and King Tuthmosis III set out and besieged the city for seven months until those in it surrendered and he pardoned them all after that. During his reign, King Tuthmosis III achieved many victories and great glory for Egypt, and during his reign Egypt was one of the most powerful countries ever… and thus the story concluded, the story of one of the greatest kings of ancient Egypt
