Icon of person Thutmose I

Thutmose I (sometimes read as Thutmosis or Tuthmosis I, Thothmes in older history works in Latinized Greek; meaning "Thoth is born") was the third pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. He received the throne after the death of the previous king, Amenhotep I. During his reign, he campaigned deep into the Levant and Nubia, pushing the borders of Egypt farther than ever before in each region. He also built many temples in Egypt, and a tomb for himself in the Valley of the Kings; he is the first king confirmed to have done this (though Amenhotep I may have preceded him). Thutmose I's reign is generally dated to 1506–1493 BC, but a minority of scholars—who think that astrological observations used to calculate the timeline of ancient Egyptian records, and thus the reign of Thutmose I, were taken from the city of Memphis rather than from Thebes—would date his reign to 1526–1513 BC. He was succeeded by his son Thutmose II, who in turn was succeeded by Thutmose II's sister, Hatshepsut. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Thutmose I is the 876th most popular politician (down from 628th in 2019), the 55th most popular biography from Egypt (down from 46th in 2019) and the 23rd most popular Egyptian Politician.

Thutmose I was the third pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt. He was the son of Thutmose I and a minor wife, Mutnofret. He was not the son of Queen Hatshepsut, who was the daughter of Thutmose I. Thutmose I was famous for his campaigns to conquer Syria and Nubia, and for establishing trade relations with the Land of Punt.
