Thutmose III was in the
Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt the sixth pharaoh. Hatshepsut was
the stepmother of Thutmose III where he was the coregent of
Hatshepsut during the first twenty of his reign. At this period,
Hatshepsut was called pharaoh. In Egypt it is known that
Thutmose II built over fifty temples and buildings. Thutmose was
considered a great builder pharaoh. Thutmose III erected two
obelisks in Karnak. Thutmose gave more attention to the city of
Karnak than other cities; Thutmose III was the one who rebuilt
the hyposty hall of Thutmose I who was his grandfather. He also
built Pylon VI, which was schrine for the bark of God Amun. The
tekhen waty known as unique obelisk was erected until it was
raised by Thutmose IV thirty five years later. It was then
brought to Rome and is now known as the Lateran Obelisk. Another
obelisk was erected by the Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius I
in the Hippodrome of Constantinople. Karnak is one the most
visited area in Egypt even though only ruined temples and
buildings are seen there but so rich in history and mystery.
Egypt stays one of the Seven Wonders in the world, everyone is
curious to know how the pharaohs lived and how those famous
pyramids where constructed. |
