Haha, how can I forget about Tuthmosis lol.
By the way Tuthmosis III is one of, if not the greatest pharaohs in Egyptian history.
I recommend you to read about him.
Basically he took the throne in his late teens/early twenties when Egyptian military was regarded as weak to the point that vassals in Canaan rallied to rebel and revolt.
His predecessor Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh, cut spending from the military and funneled into artworks and trade.
As a result Egypt was peaceful but its enemies who once feared it were now bold enough to rebel and mock them.
He rallied his military, increased military budget expenditures, and enforced conscription to restore order and expand borders. 20 years later after waging dozens of wars and military campaigns, Egypt expanded its territories to its greatest extent boundaries ever and controlled all the trade routes. He finished off his reign by defacing and ruining all of Hatshepsut's monuments.
