"Thutmose III and Hatshepsut" are among the best-known figures in Egyptian history. Thutmose has been called the “Napoleon of ancient Egypt,” during whose reign Egypt’s armies penetrated deep into northern Syria and consolidated Egyptian dominion over much of Sudan. Hatshepsut, one of the handful of female pharaohs, also took to the battlefield but is best known today for a great trading expedition, down the Red Sea coast to the mysterious land of Punt.
