At Thutmose II’s death, his queen and sister Hatshepsut had only a young daughter; but a minor wife had borne him a boy, who was apparently very young at his accession. This son, Thutmose III " ruled 1479–26 BCE", later reconquered Egypt’s Asian empire and became an outstanding ruler. During his first few regnal years, Thutmose III theoretically controlled the land, but Hatshepsut governed as regent. #hatshepsut #Thutmose #ancientegypt #ancient #ancienthistory #egypt #egyptology https://www.egypttales.com/2021/05/egypt-queen-hatshepsut-and-thutmose-iii.html
