| Egyptian pharoah (c.1504–1450 BC). He was one of the greatest of Egyptian rulers, who re-established Egyptian control over Syria and Nubia, and ornamented his kingdom with revenues from these conquests. He built the temple of Amon at Karnak, and erected many obelisks, including ‘Cleopatra's Needle’. In the early years of his reign, power lay in the hands of Hatshepsut, the sister/wife of Thutmose II. |
