But who was Tutmosis II and what did he do in his reign?
Tutmosis II was the fourth pharaoh of the XVIII dynasty of Egypt – posterior to Amosis I, Amenophis I and Tutmosis I—, who believes that it reigned for a brief period of time. His birth name was Thutmose Aajerenra and it was son of Tutmosis I and one of his secondary wives: Even being the son of a pharaoh, not being the first or progeny of his main wife, he had no right to ascend to the throne. Until He married his half -sister, Hatshepsutfull daughter, thus being able to ascend to the throne.
According to an registration of Asuán, dated in year 1, Tutmosis II suffocated a rebellion against Egyptian sovereignty in Nubia And he could also defeat a group of beduinos nomads in southern Palestine. But beyond this and some constructions – a party courtyard in Karnak, later demolished by Amethotep III, or a funeral temple that his son extended later – Not much more is known about Tutmosis II reign. It is believed that it was very short, between three and 13 years.
With his half -sister and real wife, Hatshepsut, had a daughter, Neferure, and with a secondary wife, a male son, Tutmosis III. When Tutmosis II died, the heir prince to the throne, Tutmosis III, was a minor.
