Eighteenth Dynasty king Tuthmosis III first followed to the throne as a young boy, with his stepmother Hatshepsut as his strong. Hatshepsut promptly seized the boys throne, and he did not find it until she died (possibly of foul play) 20 years later. Upon her death, Tuthmosis tried to destroy every source to Hatshepsut in monumental inscriptions.
By the time he base the throne, Tuthmosis III had military experience, although under Hatshepsut the military had grown so weak that Egypt lost much of its power abroad. Tuthmosis III soon retrieved this power, leading flocks into battle repeatedly to reassert Egyptian hold over Syria and campaigning extensively in Nubia. Tuthmosis III was also aggressive in supporting Egypt's divine institutions. He made, rebuilt, or added to some temples and supplied them with wealth.
During Tuthmosis III's 54 reign, Egypt once again became a major power after years of decline. Moreover, art and architecture flourished and the country seen great prosperity. When he died, Tuthmosis III was laid to rest in the
Valley of the Kings, where grave robbers stole his funerary goods and hurt his mummy. Subsequently renovated and re-entombed, it was observed in 1881 in a royal cache at Dayr el-Bahri.
