Hieroglyphic name:
Name: Tuthmosis IV, Djehutymes IV, Tuthmosis, Born of the God Thoth, Djednisytmiitum, Kanakht Tutkhau.
The son of King Amenophis II and Queen Tio, Tuthmosis IV was not the heir manifest and probably succeeded because of the death of an superior brother. In the Dream Stela, which dates to Year 1 of his rule, Tuthmosis IV tells the account of how, as a young man, he fell asleep near the Great Sphinx at Giza; afterward, in a dream, Harmachis (the deity was by the Sphinx) prophesied that the young prince would one day got king, but also expressed his displeasure with the sand which engulfed the body of the Sphinx. When Tuthmosis IV got king he therefore said the sand to be got away, and the stella was set up between the mitts of the Sphinx, to commemorate this event.
Little prove of the kings reign being. His funerary temple close the Rameseum at Thebes is upset continued; his tomb, sarcophagus and funerary furniture were named by Howard Carter, and in 1898, his mummy had been seen amongst those in the royal stash in the tomb of Amenophis II. Medical examination later broke that he had gone as a young man in his twenties. His foreign policy included a campaign in Nubia in Year 8 to check an penetration of desert folks men, and he also continued military action in the Asiatic responsibilities. His reign saw a major change in Syrian matters: here, neither the Ancient Egyptians nor the Mitannians could gain good supremacy, and so they last made a peaceful coalition, marking it with a purple marriage between Tuthmosis IV and the daughter of King Artatama I. It is likely that this Mitannian princess became Mutemweya, the kings Great Royal Wife. She is shown as the mother of Amenophis III in the views in the Temple of Luxor which render his bright birth. Because of Tuthmosis IV's early death, it is potential that there was no royal sister to got the wife of Amenophis III, and he thus broke the established pattern by marrying a commoner, Tiye.
Tuthmosis IV's rule is also healthy because there is evidence that at this time, the Aten came to be taken to be a separate deity; a scarab inscription mentions to the Aten as a god of struggles. Akhenaten, the grandson of Tuthmosis IV, was to break the cult of this god into a form of monotheism.
