[ History j)
Thutmose III was a member of one of the greatest families in the
history of African royalty. A family which laid the basis for the 1 8th
Dynasty of ancient Egypt. But it was his family which also was the
source of his greatest frustration.
Thutmose always believed that he should have come to power
before his sister, Hatshepsut, and was angry over this for most of
his life. Ironically, though, it was the assignments she gave him
which not only helped in his rise to power, but^atso hetped him
learn and understand the responsibilities of his royal position.
He eventually overcame his anger to become one of the most
important Pharaohs in Egyptian history. A man who will t>e~re
membered as a great warrior who strengthened the sovereignty of
Egypt and extended its influence into Western Asia.
