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