History:
About 1504 BCE, Amenhotep I died apparently without a son. He he was succeeded by a General of the Army, Thutmose, who was, in all probability, his son- or brother-in-law. It may be that he also had some direct familial connection with the Theban royal family.

The great age of obelisks began during the New Kingdom, in the eighteenth dynasty, when Thutmose I raised a pair at Karnak.

Thutmose I was a warrior, and undertook extensive campaigns in Nubia and Syria, reaching at least as far as Amosis had done. He also built extensively, adding two pylons and a pair of obelisks to the temple of Karnak, not to mention constructions elsewhere

In about 1525 BCE, Thutmose I invaded northern Syria. He fought Mitanni and reached as far east as the Euphrates River.

The Syrian elephant, a subspecies of the Indian elephant (Elephas maximus). became known in Egypt for the first time during the Near Eastern campaigns of the New Kingdom. It was hunted by Thutmose I and Thutmose III near Nija on the Orontes River.
