• Notes

  From http://www.neferchichi.com/tuthmosis1.html at Neferchichi's Tomb, Pharaohs http://www.neferchichi.com/pharaohs.html Tuthmosis I Birth name: Tuthmosis ("Born of the God Thoth") Throne name: Akheperenre ("Great is the form of Re") Rule: 1524 - 1518 BC (3rd king of the 18th dynasty, New Kingdom) Noteworthy relatives: Tuthmosis II (son), Hatshepsut (daughter) Tuthmosis was the king for only six years, but in that time he built ahuge reputation as a mighty pharaoh. He led a legendary militaryexpedition into Nubia, where he killed their chief in hand-to-handcombat. Legend says he returned to Egypt with the body of the chiefhanging from his ship. Tuthmosis appointed a viceroy to manage Nubia andmaintained a military presence there by building fortresses along theriver. He also wanted to serve up some revenge to the Hyksos for invading Egyptin the Second Intermediate Period, so he led an army all the way to theEuphrates River in Mesopotamia, taking out Hyksos tribes all along theway. Tuthmosis began many building projects with the help of his architectIneni. One such project was his extensive remodeling of the Temple ofAmun at Karnak. Pylons, statues, and courtyards were added in his name. Despite all the glory, Tuthmosis was just a regular military guy whomarried into the dynasty by taking the daughter of Ahmose I as his mainqueen. They had three children of "pure" royal blood: two sons (Wadjmoseand Amenmose) and a daughter (Hatshepsut). Another son, Tuthmosis II, wasborn to a lesser wife so he was only half as royal as his sister andbrothers. During the New Kingdom, royal tombs were built high in the cliffs ofUpper Egypt in a spot commonly called "The Valley of the Kings." In fact,Tuthmosis was the very first king to be buried there. The intention wasto make the tombs as inaccessible to grave robbers as possible...although they got robbed anyway. Around 1000 BC, a group of priestsgathered up all the royal mummies and stored them in two secret "mummycaches" (one near Deir el-Bahari, and the other in the tomb of AmenhotepII) to keep them safe. These hidden royals were nowhere to be found foralmost 2,000 years: in 1881, the 40 mummies in the Deir el-Baharilocation were found; then in 1898 the tomb of Amenhotep II with itsadditional 16 mummies was discovered. Tuthmosis I was in the 1881 cache. Tuthmosis I appears to have two tombs in the Valley of the Kings.Egyptologists refer to his original tomb as KV20 which means "Tomb #20 inthe Kings Valley." His daughter Hatshepsut joined him in KV20 many yearslater. Tuthmosis III (grandson of Tuthmosis I and step-son of Hatshepsut)built him a new tomb (KV38) because he didn't like the idea of his hatedstep-mother resting in his grandfather's tomb one bit!
