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.

History:
When Tuthmosis II died in 1479 BCE from a severe systemic illness, Hatshepsut stood as regent for the heir, who was very young. Contemporary records state that she “managed affairs of the land.

In 1473 BCE she declared herself Pharaoh, and ruled until her death. She adopted masculine attire and assumed the traditional masculine titles.

Hatshepsut was well educated and skilled in imperial administration. It is possible that she led military campaigns in Nubia and Palestine, and she sent a famous expedition to Punt (probably modern Ethiopia). In Egypt, Hatshepsut renovated large sections of Karnak and maintained an apartment there. She also erected the Red Chapel, a pair of granite Obelisks, a formal route for religious processions, and the eighth Pylon in the southern axis of the complex.

Hatshepsut erected her major monument at Deir el-Bahri on the western shore in Thebes. This is a temple with three low, broad porticos, ramps, and terraces. The upper terrace has square pillars that were originally faced with Osiride statues of Hatshepsut. In the middle terrace she constructed chapels for the gods Hathor and Anubis. This terrace also contains reliefs concerning the expedition that was sent to Punt. Hatshepsut’s divine birth legend is also depicted here. The bottom terrace has bas-reliefs heralding the raising of her obelisks at Karnak, and the court in front of the terraces had two pools and MYRRH trees in ceramic pots. Deir el-Bahri was called Djeseru- djeseru, “the Holy of Holies,” and was dedicated to Amun-Ré, Ré-Horakhty, Hathor, and Anubis
