Instructor tips for lectures, etc.:
(1). Attend class regularly (& listen) …→ Many clarifications, tips, announcements,
reinforcement & reviews of materials/concepts.
(2). Take notes on lectures, etc. …→ The act of writing down notes, even with
most course materials and instructions online,
serves as an invaluable aid to one focusing on
a class topic and retaining information better.
(3). Complete the required textbook
readings, and/or review the ppt.,
prior to the specific class day …→ This will provide greater clarity and
comprehension of the material, and will enable
asking focused questions where something
may be less clear (in the textbook or lecture).
(4). Ask questions during the class if
you are confused/wish more data→ The class is an ideal place to ask for more
clarity or further information not contained in
the textbook, ppt., and/or lecture (If nobody
asks questions, the lecture proceeds …).
(5). Complete optional materials:→ Additional reinforcement, studying & bonus?

See previous lecture: Ahmose is covered under late 2IP (SIP)
• i.e., Ahmose’s role as a transitionary ruler
from late Dynasty 17 to early Dynasty 18
• He defeats the Hyksos (Asiatics) at Tjaru & Avaris (delta)
• He founds a re-unified Egypt and an early “Empire”
• He initiates raids against and captures Sharuhen (Ajjul?)
i.e., a Canaanite stronghold/town in SW Palestine
• He conducts a long-range campaign of subjugation into
Syria-Palestine (to Djahi), receiving tribute, etc.
i.e., no direct governing; = loose suzerainty via intimidation
• He is the last Egyptian ruler using a pyramid-type tomb,
following the small SIP types in Memphite area, Abydos,
and Thebes (e.g., Kamose, his brother).
DYN.18 no.2: Amenhotep I (21 yr reign)
Amenhotep I (Greek: “Amenophis” I.).
High Chronology: 1525-1504 BC
Low Chronology: 1514-1493 BC
• Succeeds his father Ahmose
ca.1525 BC +/-10.
• P. Ebers records heliacal rising of Sirius
in yr 9, day-9 of 3rd month of summer.
i.e., We can tie his reign into astronomical data
• Depending upon many factors, including
a. latitude / location of sighting
(Memphis?; Thebes?; Elephantine?)
b. angle of star on E. horizon (latitude?),
c. known reign length (A-I & other rulers),
d. other factors,
→ advent of A-I's reign = ca. 1537 – 1517 BC
Amenhotep I
Domestic affairs: Building etc.
• He commissions building works
throughout Egypt
e.g., construction and decoration
of temples.
• Evidence for buildings mostly from
ex-situ (dismantled) blocks, etc.:
e.g., Abydos
Karnak Temple (alabaster chapel)
Kom Ombo
Elephantine (Satis temple)
• No buildings known from Delta.

Syria-Palestine:
South Palestine:
• Distribution of items with
A-I’s name.
• Egypt likely maintained
hold of Sharuhen (=‘Ajjul?),
ensuring access to &
domination of S. Palestine.

km from ‘Ajjul (1-2+ days):
• Trade relations? or
• Egyptian domination?
• Semi-autonomous city-
states (vassals to Egypt?)

Tombos Rock-Stela excerpt: T-I’s victory in Nubia (Breasted 1905 vol.2: 30)
“He hath overthrown the chief of the Nubians;
the Nehesy [BAR = ‘Negro’] is helpless in his grasp.
He hath united the boundaries of his two sides,
there is not a remnant among the Curly-Haired,
who come to attack him;
There is not a single survivor among them.
The Nubian Troglodites fall by the sword,
and are thrust aside in their lands;
Their foulness, it floods their valleys;
The […] of their mouths is like a violent flood.
The fragments cut from them are too much for the birds,
carrying off the prey to another place.
[…] the sole staff of Amun;
Keb, divine begetter, whose name is hidden,
reproducer, Bull of the divine ennead,
chosen emanation of the divine members
who doeth the pleasure of the Spirits of Heliopolis.
The lords of the palace have made a fortress for his army,
(called) ‘None-Faces-Him-Among-the-Nine-Bows-Together,’
like a young panther (leopard!) among the fleeing cattle;
the fame of his Majesty blinded them.” Nehesy also translated as “Black”

El-Kab tomb of Ahmose son of Abana (J. H. Breasted 1905 vol.2: 33-34)
Ahmose son of Abana records his service in the Nubian war under Thutmose I:
“I sailed the King Aakheperkare (Thutmose I), triumphant,
when he ascended the river to Khenthennofer,
in order to cast out violence in the highlands,
in order to suppress the raiding of the hill region.
I showed bravery in his presence in the bad water,
in the passage of the ship by the bend.
One appointed me chief of the sailors.
His majesty was [… text lost …].
His majesty was furious thereat, like a panther (leopard!);
His majesty cast his first lance,
which remained in the body of that fallen one.
This was [… text lost …]
powerless before his flaming uraeus,
made so in an instant of destruction;
Their people were brought off as living prisoners.
His majesty sailed down-river (north),
with all countries in his grasp,
that wretched Nubian Troglodyte being hanged head downward
at the prow of the barge of his majesty, and landed at Karnak.”

El-Kab tomb of Ahmose-Pen-Nekhbet (J. H. Breasted 1905 vol.2: 35)
Ahmose-Pen-Nekhbet also records his service in the Nubian war under
Thutmose I:
His account is less detailed in many ways,
BUT adds other information and confirmation
about the Nubian campaign.
“I followed the King Aakheperkare (Thutmose I),
triumphant; I captured for him in Kush,
two living prisoners, beside three living prisoners,
whom I brought off in Kush, without counting them.”
→ Presumably 2 POWs handed over to the state;
→ 3 more POWs kept by Ahmose-Pen-Nekhbet?

First Cataract Inscriptions at Sehel Island: yr.3 of Thutmose I (after Tombos)
Viceroy of Kush, Turi (Thure) cut 2 texts in rocks:
The newly established viceroy (King’s son of Kush),
Turi, places two rock-cut texts on the Island of Sehel
commemorating the return journey from the victorious
Nubian campaign & the clearing of Senwosret III’s canal.
Sehel Island: Thutmose I rock text no.1.
“Year 3, first month of the third season, day 22,
under the majesty of the King of Upper & Lower Egypt,
Aakheperkare (Thutmose I), who is given life.
His Majesty commanded to dig this canal,
after he found it stopped up with stones,
(so that) no ship sailed upon it.
He sailed downstream (i.e., north) upon it,
His heart glad, having slain his enemies.
The king’s son, Turi (Thure).”
Sehel Island: Thutmose I rock text no.2.
“Year 3, first month of the third season, day 22.
His Majesty sailed the canal in victory and in power,

Tomb of Ahmose son of Abana
El-Kab tomb of Ahmose son of Abana (J. H. Breasted 1905 vol.2: 34-35)
Ahmose son of Abana records his service in the Asiatic war under Thutmose I:
After describing the Nubia campaign,
he discusses T1’s Asiatic campaign:
“After these things one journeyed to Retenu
to wash his heart (i.e., get revenge/satisfaction)
among the foreign country.
His majesty arrived at Naharin (= Mitanni [Syria]);
His majesty found that foe
when he was planning destruction;
His majesty made a great slaughter among them.
Numberless were the living prisoners,
which his majesty brought off from his victories.
Meanwhile I was at the head of our troops,
and his majesty beheld my bravery.
I brought off a chariot, its horses,
and him who was upon it as a living prisoner,
and took them to his majesty.
One presented me with gold in double measure.”

Ahmose-Pen-Nekhbet records his service in the Asiatic war under Thutmose I:
This officer also places the Asiatic campaign
after the Nubian war:
As before, he provides less detail than
Ahmose-Son-of-Abana, but he confirms &
augments our knowledge of this battle:
“Again I served for King Aakheperkare
(Thutmose 1), triumphant;
I captured for him in the country of Naharin
21 hands, one horse, and one chariot.”
→Claims to have killed/taken 21 persons.

Ineni, the Overseer of Works for Thutmose I, records his work at Karnak Temple:
Building a set of pylons (i.e., gateway towers):
“I inspected the great monuments which he made …
Great pylons on its either side of fine limestone of Ayan;
August flagstaves were erected at the double façade of
the temple of the new cedar of the best of the Terraces;
Their tops were of electrum.
I inspected […] wrought with electrum.”
Installing a new doorway for the temple:
“I inspected the erection of the great doorway (named):
‘Amon-Mighty-in-Wealth’;
its huge door was of Asiatic copper whereupon was the
Divine Shadow, inlaid with gold.”
Erecting a pair of obelisks in the temple:
“I inspected the erection of two obelisks […]
Built the august boat of 120 cubits (= 60 m) in its length,
40 cubits (= 20 m) in its width,
in order to transport these obelisks.
(They) came in peace, safety and prosperity,
And landed at Karnak […] of the city.
Its track was laid with every pleasant wood.”

Theban tomb of Ineni (see J. H. Breasted 1905 vol.2: 42-44)
Ineni records his service to Thutmose I as an Overseer of the king’s
Building projects, especially in preparing the king’s tomb at Thebes: KV20?
Aside from discussing his work at Karnak Temple,
Ineni boasts of overseeing the cutting of the king’s
tomb (in the Valley of the Kings):
“I inspected the excavation
of the cliff-tomb of his majesty,
alone, no one seeing, no one hearing.
I sought out the excellent things upon […]
I was vigilant in seeking that which was excellent.
I made fields of clay,
in order to plaster their tombs of the necropolis;
It was a work such as the ancestors had not done
which I was obliged to do there […]
I sought out for those who should be after me.
It was a work of my heart, my virtue was wisdom;
There was not given to me a command by an elder.
I shall be praised because of my wisdom after years,
By those who shall imitate that which I have done,
[…], while I was chief of all works.”
KV.38
KV.20
KV.38 has long been the traditional tomb ascribed to King Thutmose I:
It yielded a sarcophagus of Thutmose I, but it is now argued that he had
originally prepared KV.20 (= adopted by Hatshepsut) and was reburied in KV.38

KV 20 vs 38 may = original tomb for T-I.
• His first tomb may actually be KV 20,
modified by his daughter Qn. Hatshepsut,
who partly legitimized her rule by
associating herself closely with her father
(she placed their sarcophagi side-by-side).
• Thutmose III later removes T-I's body to
another tomb (KV 34 [D. Baker says KV38]).
• However, unlike his predecessors, the
mummy of T-I remains unlocated/unverified.
• In Dyn.21, his coffins were reused by
the High Priest of Amun, Pinudjem I.
(Note: one mummy from D. el-Bahari 320
is sometimes identified as Thutmose I).

The Aswan rock-cut inscription occurs along the road between Awan & Philae:
The text dates to year 1 of Thutmose II & announces a ‘rebellion’ in Kush:
“One came to inform his majesty as follows:
‘The wretched Kush has begun to rebel,
those who were under the dominion
of the Lord of the Two Lands purpose hostility,
beginning to smite him.
The inhabitants of Egypt are about to bring away
the cattle behind this fortress
which thy father built in his campaigns, the King
of Upper & Lower Egypt, Aakheperkare (T1), living forever,
in order to repulse the rebellious barbarians,
the Nubian Troglodytes of Khenthennofer,
for those who are there on the north of the wretched Kush
[…] with two Nubian Troglodytes among the children
of the chief of the wretched Kush who […]
Before the Lord of the Two Lands […].’
His majesty was furious thereat, like a panther (leopard!),
when he heard it.
Said his majesty, ‘I swear, as Re loves me, as my father, lord of the gods, Amon,
lord of Thebes, favors me, I will not let live anyone among their males
[…] among them.’” (the text dates to the co-regency between T.1 & T.2)
Rebellion in Kush
Kerma
The text continues with details of Thutmose II’s campaign against Kush:
“Then his majesty dispatched a numerous army
into Nubia on his first occasion of a campaign,
in order to overthrow all those who were rebellious
against his majesty or hostile to the Lord of the Two Lands.
Then this army of his majesty arrived at wretched Kush […].
This army of his majesty overthrew those barbarians;
They did not let anyone live among their males,
according to the command of his majesty,
except one of those children of the chief of wretched Kush,
who was taken away alive as a living prisoner
with their people to his majesty.
They were placed under the feet of the Good God;
For his majesty had appeared on the throne when
the living prisoners were brought in,
which this army of his majesty had captured.This land was made a subject of his majesty as formerly,
the people rejoiced, the chiefs were joyful;
they gave praise to the Lord of the Two Lands,
they lauded this god, excellent in examples of his divinity.It came to pass on account of the fame of his majesty,
because his father Amon loved him so much more
than any king who has been since the beginning …”

Co-regency: 1,479-1,457 BC (22 yrs)
• Thutmose II died in his early 30s, leaving
throne to
a. young son: Thutmose III, and
b. chief queen: Hatshepsut.
• T-III = recognized initially as the
lawful & sole King of U- & L-Egypt.
• However, his youth necessitated that
Hatshepsut act as regent on his behalf.
• Years 1-2: Qn. Hatshepsut officially
maintained her former position, namely
a King's wife acting on behalf of T-III.
• The mayor of Thebes, Ineny, mentions
the reality of Qn. Hatshepsut’s position:
• “... conducting the affairs of the country,
the Two lands being in her control.”

Hatshepsut-Thutmose III
• By late yr 2, or early yr 3, of T-III,
Hatshepsut introduced radical changes:
• She is no longer portrayed simply as a Great
King's Wife, standing behind & supporting T-III.
• She now adopts the full aspects of a king:
a. She is crowned “king” with full powers.
b. For depictions and statuary, she adopts
royal male regalia associated with kings.
c. Female elements appear wherever possible
in otherwise traditionally male royal titles.
Fivefold royal titulary = modified:
a. Female Horus, Wosretkau versus Weser
b. King of Upper and Lower Egypt not queen
c. Maat-ka-re prenomen
d. Daughter of Re vs. “Son” of Re
e. Khnumet-Amun Hatshepsut not Khnum
= female variant.
Queen Hatshepsut → “King” Hatshepsut.
- As a female ruler (co-regent with T-3)
- As a bearded male sphinx (king)
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III
• Hatshepsut legitimized claim to kingship
by promoting officially (through inscriptions
& depictions) her divine birth via Amun.
• She stresses links to her royal father, T-I.
i.e., she is a FULL royal daughter
• Hatshepsut's claim to the throne does not
appear to have been openly contested:
i.e., she is also a FULL royal queen (Gr. Qn.)
• T-III is still recognized as a ruler alongside
Hatshepsut: She never replaces him …
He is always credited as a king
Of note:
• T-III only reclaimed his throne, as rightful king,
20 years later (in yr 22).
• Only at the end of his reign did he give vent
to frustrations? via a deliberate, widespread
campaign to eradicate Hatshepsut's name &
memory from buildings and monuments.
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III
How did Hatshepsut manage her coup?
• She gained support from several capable
& prominent high officials.
Key officials: (a) Senenmut:
• Her favourite official, Senenmut, held the
post of spokesman and Chief Steward.
• He also acted as a tutor (male-nurse)
to her daughter, princess Neferure.
• He supervised the buildings of Amun
• He oversaw quarrying & transport of
a pair of obelisks (Aswan-Karnak Temple)
Two pairs: Yr 2 & yr. 15/16.
Karnak Temple: Hatshepsut’s construction of the “Red Chapel”Probable location of the dismantled Red Chapel based on architectural analysis
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III
Senenmut (continued):
• He directed construction of her
mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahari.
• He was granted the special favour of
placing his tomb near this temple.
• However, Senenmut apparently later fell
from favour? at court, being replaced by
other Chief Stewards:
b. Amenhotep; c. Wadj-ren-powet
d. Thut-hotep
Senenmut & Hatshepsut:
-A sexual/close relationship?

the office of Steward.
(f) Hapuseneb:
-filled the post of
High Priest of Amun.
(g) Nehesi:
-held the post of
Chancellor.
(h) Inebny:
-served as Viceroy of Kush
(Nubia) under Hatshepsut.
(i) Thuty:
-the office of Treasurer.
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III
Levantine International Relations:
• During her regency & reign, there is
relatively little evidence for Egyptian
military activity in Syria-Palestine.
-Other activities include:
a. A possible inspection tour sent
to Syria-Palestine (unverified).
b. Probable mission to Byblos to obtain
cedar (texts note its use in temples).
c. Allusion to receipt of military equipment
that enhanced Hatshepsut's army (said
to have been previously unequipped).
d. Receipt of captives & tribute from
Syria-Palestine (→ estate of Amun)
e. Labourers & hostages sent to Egypt
from Syria-Palestine.

Hatshepsut-Thutmose III: Hatshepsut’s claims regarding status of empire
Obelisk text sample:
“[Hatshepsut speaks: [I am a] good [heir], ... one to whom the kingship of the
Black Land and the Red Land was given, all foreign lands being beneath my
feet.
My southern frontier is on the shores of Pwenet and [God's land is in my
grasp].
My eastern frontier is on the marshes of Asia, and the Mentjiu of Asia
are in my grip.
My western frontier is at Manu-mountain and I rule [Libya.
My northern frontier is at ...] and my power overwhelms them that are across
The sand all together.
As grain is shipped, so myrrh of Pwenet brought to me [...] and all the marvels
of this foreign land -they are directed to my palace as a single item.
The Asiatics provide [...] of turquoise from the land of Roshayt, they bring me
the choicest products of Negaw, namely cedar, juniper(?) and mrw-wood [...]
all the fine woods of God's land.
And I have brought the produce of Libya, namely 700 tusks of ivory that were
there, numerous panther [hides], six cubits along the back and four in
circumference, that is of the southern panther, apart from a variety of products
from this foreign land“
(Redford, 1992: 151-2, 152 note 104: Urk IV, 372:2-373:11).
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III.
Symbolic? allusions to military activity:
Yr.2 Epithet:
• “Smiter of the Shasu” (in previous reigns).
Boasts:
• Comparing her exploits to military activity by T-I.
Predictions
• By a deity concerning the decapitation of hosts
& seizing of chiefs of Syria (the ones remaining
after her father's Syrian campaign [D. el-Bahari]).
Re-equipping army
• Noted in Speos Artemidos yr.9+ shrine texts
• A cliff temple of Pakht at Beni Hasan:
“My power causes foreign countries to kneel,
while the uraeus that is upon my brow brings fear
to all lands .... The roads that were formerly
blocked-up, are now well trod; and my army, which
was formerly unequipped, now has riches since I
appeared as king.”
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III.
Symbolic? allusions to military activity (continued):
Domination of Syria-Palestine & foreign lands
Mostly symbolic images in other texts:
E.g., “I place fear of thee in all lands ...”
(Speos Artemedos; Karnak chapel)
E.g., “All lands and every hill country crushed
beneath my sandals” (Speos Artemidos)
E.g., “None rebels against me in all lands.
All foreign lands are my subjects”
(Hatshepsut Karnak Temple obelisks)
E.g., “My eastern frontier is on the marshes of
Asia, and the Mentjiu of Asia are in my grip”
E.g.,“The Asiatics provide [...] of turquoise from
the land Roshayt, they bring me the choicest
products of Negaw, namely cedar, juniper(?)
and mrw-wood [...] all the fine woods of
God's Land ...”
(Hatshepsut Karnak Temple obelisks).

Senenmut directed the construction of
Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple (“mansion
of millions of years”) at Deir el-Bahari.
Dyn.18: Mortuary Chapel of Hatshepsut
at Deir el-Bahari.
• Very different from standard Theban
pylon-courtyard design.
• Several colonnaded terraces against
cliff face at Deir el-Bahari
• Probably copying Dyn.11 adjacent
mortuary temple of Montuhotep II
• Unusual decoration at front of temple:
(a) Transportation of obelisks for Karnak
Temple
(b) Trading mission by sea to Punt
NOT battle/war scenes normally placed
in other mortuary temples.
• Scene of “divine birth” and coronation
of Hatshepsut – stressing her right to rule
• Back area of temple = closer to norm
- regular deities; solar court; Osiris; Amun
- her links with royal ancestors (father T.1)

Hatshepsut and her burial site:
• She initiated work on two tombs at Thebes.
First tomb, WA-D:
= whilst she was a King's Daughter/Wife.
• located & cut into sheer cliff face,
• Abandoned during construction at the
point when Hatshepsut adopted the
role of co-regent & appointed herself
King of U & L Egypt.
• Contains yellow quartzite sarcophagus,
some pottery, and plain limestone slabs.
• Abandoned sarcophagus inscribed:
“The Hereditary Princess, great in favour
and grace, mistress of all the lands, the
king's daughter, king's sister, wife of the
god, great royal wife, and lady of the
Two Lands, Hatshepsut.”
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III.
Second Tomb, KV-20:
• Placed in Valley of the Kings
• Included sarcophagus for her father
T-I (with whom she stressed links as
a legitimate heir and ruler of Egypt).
• She re-inscribed one of her sarcophagi
for her father.
• She cut a new sarcophagus for herself.
• Tomb's passageway yielded shattered
pieces from funerary equipment:
e.g., stone vase fragments and statuary.
• Otherwise tomb devoid of Hatshepsut's burial.
• Thutmose III moved T-I's body to a new
tomb that he built for his grandfather,
making a point to place it far away from
his detested(?) step-mother's tomb.
• Mummy of Hatshepsut = unlocated???

Hatshepsut’s body(?):
• Don Ryan, who worked in KV.60, suggests that a female body, with arms
crossed in the royal fashion, may = Hatshepsut (see recent documentary).
• Thutmose III/A-II may have disposed of Hatshepsut's body, since he is known
to have initiated a thorough program to erase her name from structures,
monuments, and memory (not the case: Hatshepsut’s body = prob. found)
• His program succeeds in that Hatshepsut's name is omitted from later King
Lists, with Thutmose III given sole credit for the 22 years of shared reign.

- Why did subsequent rulers try
to erase, destroy, or usurp her

• She stresses links to her father, T-I.
• Hatshepsut's claim to the throne does not

Aswan
Hatshepsut-Thutmose III.
• Satet Temple at Elephantine (Aswan).
• Wall decoration completed by Hatshepsut
(deities: Satet with antelope horns; Amun; Khnum;
Anukis).
• Usurped by Thutmose III (erasing Hatshepsut).
Attempts to erase Hatshepsut from
History – a later reaction.
-Thutmose III-Amenhotep II erased
or usurped her cartouches (name),
her depictions, & her sculpture.
