  1. Three important pharaohs are Thutmose III, Nefertiti and Senusret III.
  2. Thutmose III lived from 3429 to 3375, died when he was 54 years old.
  3. Thutmose was probably the most interesting one of all them being that he
  4. never lost a battle. He was a great Egyptian ruler. Along with being a great
  5. ruler he was also a great horseman, archer and a good athlete. He built the
  6. temple of Amun at Karnak. Thutmoses mother, Hatshesut took the throne
  7. from him. Although after his mother died Thutmose went around taking
  8. everything that his mothers name was on off and replacing hers with his.
  9. Thutmose was faced with two people they were called Princes of
  10. Kadesh and Megiddo. The both of them put together had a very large and
  11. strong army. Thutmose immediatley set out with his army. Thutmose and his
  12. army crossed the Sinai dessert. They then marched into the city of Gaza.
  13. Thutmose's private secretary, Tjaneni kept records of everything that
  14. happened which was later copied and engraved on the walls of the temple of
  15. Karnak.
  16. Many people claimed that Thutmose was a smart person of his time.
  17. Many people even called him a genius. He understood alot of things that many
  18. others didn't. He understood the logistics and lines of supply. Another thing he
  19. knew that others didn't, he was probably the first person to realize and
  20. actually use the sea-power with his army men. Thutmose conducted sixteen
  21. army men in Syria, Nubia and in Palestine. Thutmose was a national hero
  22. who was remembered way after his death. Thutmose has had some of the most
  23. powerful nations.
  24. Another important pharaoh was Nefertiti. Little is know about
  25. Nefertiti. What we do know is that she was the wife to Akhenaten which was
  26. during the eighteenth dynasty. Some debate still remains on whether Nefertiti
  27. was the actual mother of Akhenaten and also his wife at the same time.
  28. The time when Akhenaten ruled, the religion changed alot. With the religion
  29. changing the people left behind the old gods. They then believed in heresy. It
  30. was wondered if it was Nefertitis descision or if it was Akhenatens to have a
  31. religion reform.
  32. Akhenaten was appointed on her outside of the family. As a result after
  33. appointment to position of queen of Mamphis, Nefertit disappeared. It was
  34. assumed by many people that Nefertit was either banished or was dead.
  35. Although little evidence actually shows she died.
  36. Nefertiti was probably one of the best known queens of Egypt.
  37. Nefertiti was in many paintings and art work on monuments.Many people
  38. claim that she was a very beautiful person. There is no written record of her
  39. birth or death.
  40. Another important pharaoh is Senusret III. Senusret III was also known
  41. as Sesostris III and Senwosret III. Senusret was the 5th king of the 12th
  42. Dynasty. he ruled for 37 years following his fathers death. It was believed
  43. that Senusret was 6'6' feet tall. Senusret was a great builder and a skilled
  44. military trooper One of his many building projects was a temple that was built
  45. in the honor of the war god Montu. Senusret built the largest pyramid of the
  46. 12th Dynasty at Dahshur. The bad thing is that there isn't much left to see of it
  47. because it is falling apart.
  48. Senusret led many army's to Nubia and to Syria. The one to Syria was
  49. believed to only be to look over the land. Senusret was later in his life
  50. worshipped as a god in Nubia. No one knows exactly why people worshipped
  51. him. There is no written record of when he died or even how he died
