Menkheperre I give the laws of Ma'at #kemet #learning
Menkheperre was an ancient Egyptian theophoric name. Its most famous use is as the throne name of three Egyptian monarchs:
Thutmose III, pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt
Ini (pharaoh), pharaoh of the Third Intermediate Period
Necho I, pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty of Egypt
Other notable bearers were:
Menkheperre (prince), prince, son of King Thutmose III
Menkheperre, Theban High Priest of Amun during the 21st Dynasty
People with a very similar name were:
Menkheperraseneb I, High Priest of Amun during the 18th Dynasty
Menkheperreseneb II, High Priest of Amun during the 18th Dynasty
Menkheperure, throne name of Thutmose IV, pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty

Thutmose III Menkheperre, Warrior King of Egypt 1479-1425 BC
An off the cuff lecture about the 18th Dynasty's militarily most successful king, personally responsible for making Egypt the most powerful nation in the region in the 15th century BC. Thutmose III Menkheperre extended Egypt's reach further than ever before, but he also devoted some of his energy to obliterating his half-aunt Hatshepsut who had ruled as regent during his minority before declaring herself king alongside him. This is a new version of the video, with two sections that were slightly out of focus now re-recorded. Apologies to those who had already watched the video, and also for any slips of the tongue. As you can imagibe, doing this mainly off the top of my head is quite a challenge!

The Egyptian King
Thutmose III
Thutmose III (variously also spelled Tuthmosis or Thothmes), sometimes called Thutmose the Great, was the sixth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty.
Officially, Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost 54 years and his reign is usually dated from 28 April 1479 BC to 11 March 1425 BC, from the age of two and until his death at age fifty-six; however, during the first 22 years of his reign, he was coregent with his stepmother and aunt, Hatshepsut, who was named the pharaoh.
While he was shown first on surviving monuments, both were assigned the usual royal names and insignia and neither is given any obvious seniority over the other.
Thutmose served as the head of Hatshepsut’s armies.
During the final two years of his reign, he appointed his son and succes...

Prince York Speaks on Homosexuality
Love this young brother's vigor and zeal. I agree with this young brother 90%. But take what makes sense to you and move on. If you follow me, you know my perspective.
"I love my black people, I'm not going to discriminate against a homosexual or a heterosexual... I'm not going to discriminate on someone's sexual preference..."

What is in a Name? Using Royal Titularies to Illuminate the 19th and 20th Dynasties by Kevin Johnson
Royal titularies in ancient Egypt often signify major decisive points or historical realities of a particular king's reign and can often provide a window into the political and ideological circumstances under which those kings came to power. The titularies of kings consisted of five parts: the Horus name, Nebti name, Horus of Gold, Prenomen (throne name), and Nomen (birth name). The role of this five-fold titulary is one of great depth and meaning, with the Nomen given to the king at birth and the other four selected by pharaohs at their accession for a variety of reasons. In some cases, they chose names that served as descriptors of current political circumstances or anticipated the great things they hoped to accomplish during their reigns. In other cases, they used specific titularies to...

Amenhotep III told us how he was a magnificent ruler in ancient Egypt.
Amenhotep III, also known as Amenhotep the Magnificent, was the ninth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. According to different authors, he ruled Egypt from June 1386 to 1349 BC, or from June 1388 BC to December 1351 BC/1350 BC, after his father Thutmose IV died.

Amenhotep II (c. 1425-1400 BC), Warrior Pharaoh and Archer
Another in my series of talks based on my new book, now renamed: Pharaohs of the Sun: How Egypt's Despots and Dreamers Drove the Rise and Fall of Tutankhamun's Egypt (published: July 2022).
Amenhotep II is little known today, largely because he is overshadowed by the famous Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Akhenaten, and Tutankhamun. However, he was a very interesting person, given to appalling acts of brutality but also seems to have enjoyed a drink, sounding off about other countries, collecting glass, and enjoying the company of dogs, ducks, and monkeys.
Owing to past problems with comments, thanks to a small number of inappropriate ones by certain users, robots injecting unacceptable ones, and the tedious two-step verification every time I want to get in to deal with these, these are all he...

An off the cuff lecture about the 18th Dynasty's militarily most successful king, personally responsible for making Egypt the most powerful nation in the region in the 15th century BC. Thutmose III Menkheperre extended Egypt's reach further than ever before, but he also devoted some of his energy to obliterating his half-aunt Hatshepsut who had ruled as regent during his minority before declaring herself king alongside him. This is a new version of the video, with two sections that were slightly out of focus now re-recorded. Apologies to those who had already watched the video, and also for any slips of the tongue. As you can imagibe, doing this mainly off the top of my head is quite a challenge!
Please note: this lecture is derived from my new book about the 18th Dynasty which will be published in July 2022. The title of this book has now been revised. It will be called:
PHARAOHS OF THE SUN
HOW EGYPT'S DESPOTS AND DREAMERS DROVE THE RISE AND FALL OF TUTANKHAMUN'S DYNASTY
Incidentally, Menkheperure, the regnal name of Thutmose IV was the same as Thutmose III’s but with the triplicating addition of the hieroglyphic sign III (Gardiner Z2) to the ḫpr (‘manifestation’) component, and which appears in several 18th Dynasty names. A modern convention is to distinguish the name from Thutmose III’s Menkheperre by inserting a ‘u’ before the -re suffix (as with other names with the III sign) but it is unlikely that in Egyptian it was vocalized any differently, and certainly not with a ‘u’ sound.

Officially, Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost 54 years and his reign is usually dated from 28 April 1479 BC to 11 March 1425 BC, from the age of two and until his death at age fifty-six; however, during the first 22 years of his reign, he was coregent with his stepmother and aunt, Hatshepsut, who was named the pharaoh.
While he was shown first on surviving monuments, both were assigned the usual royal names and insignia and neither is given any obvious seniority over the other.
Thutmose served as the head of Hatshepsut’s armies.
During the final two years of his reign, he appointed his son and successor, Amenhotep II, as his junior co-regent. His firstborn son and heir to the throne, Amenemhat, predeceased Thutmose III.
Becoming the sole ruling pharaoh of the kingdom after Hatshepsut’s death, he conducted no fewer than 17 campaigns from Syria to Upper Nubia, expanding Egypt’s empire to its largest extent.
When Thutmose III died, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings, as were the rest of the kings from this period in Egyptian history. He is regarded, along with Ramesses II, as one of the two most powerful and celebrated rulers of the New Kingdom Period of Ancient Egypt, itself considered the height of Egyptian power.
Thutmose’s two main names transliterate as mn-ḫpr-r-ḏḥwty-ms. The first name is usually transcribed as Menkheperre and means “Lasting is the manifestation of Ra” or “The lasting one of the manifestation of Ra”.
The second name is transliterated as Thutmose or Tuthmosis and means “Born of Thoth” or “Thoth is born”. Manetho in his Aegyptiaca (History of Egypt) written in Greek (According to Eusebius) called him Miphrês and Misphragmuthôsis.
Widely considered a military genius by historians, Thutmose III conducted at least 16 campaigns in 20 years.[18] He was an active expansionist ruler, sometimes called Egypt’s greatest conqueror or “the Napoleon of Egypt” by the Egyptologist James Breasted.
He is recorded to have captured 350 cities during his rule and conquered much of the Near East from the Euphrates to Nubia during seventeen known military campaigns.
He was the first pharaoh after Thutmose I to cross the Euphrates, doing so during his campaign against Mitanni.
His campaign records were inscribed onto the walls of the temple of Amun at Karnak (transcribed in Urkunden IV).
He is consistently regarded as one of the greatest of Egypt’s warrior pharaohs who transformed Egypt into an international superpower by creating an empire that stretched from the Asian regions of Syria to the North, to Upper Nubia to the south.
Whether the Egyptian empire covered even more areas is less certain. Earlier Egyptologists, most recently Ed. Meyer believed that Thutmose had also subjugated the islands of the Aegean Sea.
This can no longer be upheld today.
A conquest of Mesopotamia is unthinkable, and whether tribute sent from Alashia (Cyprus) was more than occasional gifts remains questionable.
In most of his campaigns, his enemies were defeated town by town until they were beaten into submission.
Much is known about Thutmose “the warrior” not only because of his military achievements but also because of his royal scribe and army commander, Thanuny, who wrote about his conquests and reign.
Thutmose III was able to conquer such a large number of lands because of revolutionary developments in military technology.
The Hyksos may have brought advanced weaponry, such as horse-drawn chariots, around 1650 BC. In the process of driving them out, the people of Egypt learned to use these weapons.
Thutmose III encountered little resistance from neighboring kingdoms, allowing him to expand his realm of influence easily. His army also carried boats on dry land.

The role of this five-fold titulary is one of great depth and meaning, with the Nomen given to the king at birth and the other four selected by pharaohs at their accession for a variety of reasons. In some cases, they chose names that served as descriptors of current political circumstances or anticipated the great things they hoped to accomplish during their reigns. In other cases, they used specific titularies to link themselves to certain gods as a political statement, or they adopted names used by previous kings in an attempt to establish a sense of legitimacy. For periods of Egyptian history that have not left a significant amount of monumental or inscriptional evidence, these titularies become all the more important. One such span was the Late 19th dynasty and its transition to the 20th, where the evidence for the period from the death of Merneptah to the accession of Ramesses III is largely conjectural. In this case, the titularies of the rulers within this gap provide us with tantalizing clues as to their claims to the seat of power and shed light on the ways royal names were used to establish credibility. In this talk, we will explore a number of examples from earlier periods of Egyptian history to illustrate the kinds of information that can be gleaned from royal titularies before then turning our attention to those of the rulers of the late 19th and early 20th dynasties.
Kevin Johnson is the Chair of the History, Global, & Political Studies Department and Associate Professor of History and Global Studies at Taylor University in Upland, IN. His research agenda centers on the late 19th and early 20th dynasties, a pivotal point in Egyptian history. Within the context of this period, he has addressed the global issues of legitimacy, political machinations of figures behind the throne and problems of succession and transition of power. Additionally, he was the lead author of an article published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Egyptian History, and he co-authored the amazing popular-level book The Names of the Kings of Egypt (with famous author Bill Petty). Dr. Johnson teaches a January Study Abroad course in Egypt at Taylor. He has also led the "Hieroglyphic Egypt" tour 4 times, as well as the "Hidden Treasures of Egypt" for Museum Tours, and he participated in an archaeological season for the University of Arizona at the mortuary temple of one of Egypt’s few female rulers, Tausret.

Another in my series of talks based on my new book, now renamed: Pharaohs of the Sun: How Egypt's Despots and Dreamers Drove the Rise and Fall of Tutankhamun's Egypt (published: July 2022).
Amenhotep II is little known today, largely because he is overshadowed by the famous Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Akhenaten, and Tutankhamun. However, he was a very interesting person, given to appalling acts of brutality but also seems to have enjoyed a drink, sounding off about other countries, collecting glass, and enjoying the company of dogs, ducks, and monkeys.
Owing to past problems with comments, thanks to a small number of inappropriate ones by certain users, robots injecting unacceptable ones, and the tedious two-step verification every time I want to get in to deal with these, these are all held for reviews. As ever, just a few have to ruin it for everyone.
