Thutmosis II
Thutmosis II was a Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, reigning from approximately 1492 to 1479 BCE. He is known as the great-grandfather of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun, two of the most famous rulers of ancient Egypt. Thutmosis II's reign is often characterized by a lack of significant military achievements, and he is considered to have been a weak and ill ruler. After his death, his wife and half-sister, Hatshepsut, ascended to power, marking a significant transition in Egyptian history. His burial chamber, recently discovered in the Valley of the Kings, is notable as it is the last unlocated royal tomb from the 18th Dynasty.
