- An off the cuff lecture about the 18th Dynasty's militarily most successful king, personally responsible for making Egypt the most powerful nation in the region in the 15th century BC. Thutmose III Menkheperre extended Egypt's reach further than ever before, but he also devoted some of his energy to obliterating his half-aunt Hatshepsut who had ruled as regent during his minority before declaring herself king alongside him. This is a new version of the video, with two sections that were slightly out of focus now re-recorded. Apologies to those who had already watched the video, and also for any slips of the tongue. As you can imagibe, doing this mainly off the top of my head is quite a challenge!
Please note: this lecture is derived from my new book about the 18th Dynasty which will be published in July 2022. The title of this book has now been revised. It will be called:
PHARAOHS OF THE SUN
HOW EGYPT'S DESPOTS AND DREAMERS DROVE THE RISE AND FALL OF TUTANKHAMUN'S DYNASTY
Incidentally, Menkheperure, the regnal name of Thutmose IV was the same as Thutmose III’s but with the triplicating addition of the hieroglyphic sign III (Gardiner Z2) to the ḫpr (‘manifestation’) component, and which appears in several 18th Dynasty names. A modern convention is to distinguish the name from Thutmose III’s Menkheperre by inserting a ‘u’ before the -re suffix (as with other names with the III sign) but it is unlikely that in Egyptian it was vocalized any differently, and certainly not with a ‘u’ sound.

Your lectures are terrific. You make the stories come to life - we get a strong sense of the people and the dynamics. Thank you.
Yet another pharaoh that should today be better known. With all our vastly enhanced ability to gather facts and images, let's hope Thutmose III may one day become at least as well known as his more famous aunt. To my mind, one of his most remarkable traits is his seeming interest in botany and natural history for its own sake. The two rooms in his jubilee hall at Karnak that contain depictions of the plants and animals of Canaan are unique for the era as far as I know. The specimens were collected during his third campaign (Year 25 according to Wiki.) Could this curiosity about foreign lands have been inspired by Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt ?
I guess we had to wait for Herodotus and Thucydides before we had anything like the objective and factual recording of history. An excellent video once again Guy.
Keep em coming Guy. Egyptology poorer for not having you
Thank you. Durban, South Africa. Liked & Subscribed🙌
Great lecture!
Great thanks.
Thank you so much!
Excellent. I think one of your best
Correction Menkheperre not menkheperure = thutmose IV . Great videos ! Hope you do Amenhotep ii and thutmose IV !
Thank you. Indeed. Slip of the tongue while talking for an hour. The spelling is correct in the book text!
I am planning a talk on Amenhotep II next. He is one of the most interesting individuals but largely unknown today. There are some great vignettes of his personality in the record.
@@ClassCiv looking forward to it !
Oh great I’m confused is Iset the same as Set/Seth/Sutekh/ Sekhmet the trickster spirit?
No. 'Iset' is what the ancient Egyptians called the goddess we now call Isis.
@@peterkarargiris4110 so, that not an additional form that Set/Sutekh… takes or form of its name? Thank you.
@@CAP198462 That's right. We have become used to calling Iset 'Isis' because that's what the Greeks called her before the decipherment of hieroglyphs. Sekhmet is a different goddess and Set (Seth, Sutekh) was a god.
@@peterkarargiris4110 they’re different?!!?!! 😮
So what was Set the god of? and who is sekhmet?
