In this video, Charis Tyndall talks about the Egyptian torso of Thutmose III, New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose III, c.1479-1425 BC.
Thutmose III sometimes called Thutmose the Great III was the sixth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. Officially he ruled Egypt from 28 April 1479 BC until 11 March 1425 BC, commencing with his coronation at the age of two and concluding with his death, aged fifty-six; however, during the first 22 years of his reign, he was coregent with his stepmother and aunt, Hatshepsut, who was named the pharaoh. While he was shown first on surviving monuments, both were assigned the usual royal names and insignia and neither is given any obvious seniority over the other. Thutmose served as the head of Hatshepsut's armies.
