Amenhotep II - Thutmose IV from the New Kingdom in ancient Egypt About two years before his death, Thutmose III appointed his 18-year-old son, Amenhotep II (ruled c. 1426–1400 BCE), as coregent. Just before his father’s death, Amenhotep II set out on a campaign to an area in Syria near Kadesh, whose city-states were now caught up in the power struggle between Egypt and Mitanni; Amenhotep II killed seven princes and shipped their bodies back to Egypt to be suspended from the ramparts of Thebes and Napata. #Amenhotep #Thutmose #ancientegypt #ancient #ancienthistory #archaeology https://www.egypttales.com/2021/05/egypt-amenhotep-ii-thutmose-iv-from-new.html
