    Fun note: in 1918, British General Edmund Allenby found himself in the same situation as Thutmose III, and having read Breasted's translation of the story, tried the exact same "middle path" trick as Thutmose, and it worked again, 3400 years later!

    I am so jazzed that the bronze age is getting more attention these days. When I was growing up it was completely glossed over in media and they skipped immediately to Alexander and to Rome, but the period of civilization before the bronze age collapse is larger than the period of time that followed and it shouldn't be disregarded as just some primitive footnote in history.

    Thutmose III was a child when his father, Thutmose II died in 1479 BC. His stepmother and aunt Hatshepsut became regent during his minority but was herself declared pharaoh within a couple of years. Although Thutmose III was not deposed, he would remain powerless during Hatshepsut's reign. In theory he and his stepmother were co-rulers, but in practice his position was nebulous and he was kept out of the way as Hatshepsut ruled Egypt. Thutmose III was also married to Hatshepsut's daughter to further consolidate his claim to the throne. Its believed that Thutmose III resented Hatshepsut for sidelining him in the first 22 years of his reign, and after Hatshepsut died indulged himself in a bit spite that was aimed at his stepmother when he tore down her statues and removed her images from temples and other important structures. Thutmose III was considered very studious and he studied a lot during his aunt's tenure as pharaoh and he became widely respected for his learning. At this time he also gained renown as commander of the army and made a name for himself as a good general who was also wise in victory. All the while Egypt under Hatshepsut experienced a period of growth and security, which the nation needed. Trade routes were re-established and the economy grew by leaps and bounds. This was the beginning of the wealth for which Egypt is now famous for.

Now, scientists have captured sweeping genomic information from Egyptian mummies. It reveals that mummies were closely related to ancient Middle Easterners, hinting that northern Africans might have different genetic roots from people south of the Sahara desert. The study, published on 30 May in Nature Communications1, includes data from 90 mummies buried between 1380 BC, during Egypt’s New Kingdom, and AD 425, in the Roman era. The findings show that the mummies’ closest kin were ancient farmers from a region that includes present-day Israel and Jordan.

    Fun Fact: Thutmose III was a brilliant General/Emperor who never lost a battle, he also excelled as an administrator and statesman. He was an accomplished horseman, archer, athlete, and discriminating patron of the arts. Thutmose had no time for pompous, self-indulgent bombast and his reign, with the exception of his uncharacteristic spite against the memory of Hatshepsut, shows him to have been a sincere and fair-minded man. This is a list of commanders who are considered to have never lost a battle. This list includes important historical generals and admirals, rather than simply any commander who has never lost a battle for the sake of brevity. "IN AFRICA" Ahmose I - founder of the Eighteenth Dynasty and the New Kingdom of Egypt after defeating the Hyksos and leading a successful siege into their capital Avaris. Ahmose also campaigned in Nubia and Levant. Thutmose I - pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Thutmose I was the first pharaoh to cross the Euphrates. Thutmose I also campaigned in Nubia. Thutmose III - pharaoh of Egypt from the Eighteenth Dynasty. Thutmose III conquered 350 towns without losing any battle. Tutankhamun - pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Two victorious battles were fought during his reign: the Asiatic Battle, and the Nubian Battle. Partially recovered Talatat blocks from his tomb record 4 different graphic episodes from his battles. A chest recovered from his tomb depicts him valiantly defeating the Nubians perched on a military chariot wielding a bow-and-arrow weapon. Various militant objects were found in his tomb such as military body armor, 8 shields, swords, scimitars, slings, throw-sticks and 2 military trumpets.[1] Seti I - second pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He led successful campaigns in Nubia, Libya and Levant. He also captured Kadesh and re-established the Egyptian rule over it which was lost since the rule of Akhenaten. Ramesses II - one of the greatest pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. He was involved in naval battles against pirates and battles on the land against the Canaanites and the Hittite Empire. Ramesses signed the oldest peace treaty in history with the Hittites after a long war. Tariq ibn Ziyad (679 - 707) - Berber[2] Muslim commander who led the Islamic Umayyad conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711-718 A.D. Led the decisive Battle of Guadalete. The name Gibraltar is derived from him. Baibars (1223-1277) - nicknamed Abu al-Futuh (أبو الفتوح; English: Father of Conquest, referring to his victories) - was the fourth Sultan of Egypt in the Mamluk Bahri dynasty, succeeding Qutuz. He was one of the commanders of the Egyptian forces that inflicted a defeat on the Seventh Crusade of King Louis IX of France. He also led the vanguard of the Egyptian army at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, which marked the first substantial defeat of the Mongol army and is considered a turning point in history. Shaka Zulu (1787-1828) - One of the most influential leaders of the Zulu Kingdom. Shaka was known for conquering the Ndwandwe and the Mthethwa Paramountcy without losing any battles. His role in the Mfecane led to the depopulation and migration of various tribes as well as the establishment of Zulu hegemony in the region. He also repelled the British army when they tried to invade South Africa from the east.

Historians who propose the peaceful entry hypothesis consider the XIV's northern expansion to have been the path through which the Hyksos got into Egypt in the first place. Originally the semitic peoples who would constitute the Hyksos would have been allowed into Egypt as vassals of the XIV, but as the dynasty weakened they started gaining power and eventually formed the XV (Hyksos) Dynasty, ultimately turning the last five kings of the XIV into their vassals.

One simple fact that Mousse was placed in the Nile river until he reach the Pharaoh palace in Thebes and if you know that Nile river flows upward proves without a doubt that semitic were living in south Egypt (maybe Nubian too). There are many theories that state Thutmose III is King David. I have studies this era immensely and tend to agree. The similarities are uncanny.

    I think this account is an excellent example of why I find it worthwhile to study military history, even if the subject matter itself is distasteful in the extreme. After all, there's a temptation to think of our forebears as stupid (although upon closer inspection you'll find out it's just that moderns are standing in the shoulders of giants), but when it comes to military stratagems, at least I find it easy to imagine myself in the shoes of Thutmose III, or otherwise in an analogous contemporary military situation in wargames, and see the brilliance in his decision to go through the middle. It's all about taking calculated risks while trying to outwit your equally clever opponent, and this is the one area where all our advances in science, technology and philosophy have failed change a thing.
