 | | Tuthmosis II's lovely wife and half-sister, the beautiful Queen Hatshepsut, was (oh, scandal!) not able to produce any sons - but bite your tongue, she is royalty, after all. |
 | | To Tuthmosis III, she was mother-in-law, stepmother, aunt, and the number one obstacle in his way to ultimate power, and to herself she was the rightful ruler of Egypt - the divine child of the god Amun, her father's chosen heir. |
 | | Tuthmosis III was known to be extremely talented in many respects: as a general and administrator, as a charioteer and archer and athlete. |
