Mid

This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list:

Needed articles.

We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.

Cleanup.

To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?

Standardize the Chronology.

A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)

Stub sorting

Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . .

Data sorting.

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

Campaign For Indefinite Language In Historical Studies[edit]

Nothing in history is for certain, there is always a chance of our theories of the past being wrong. Try to convey this to readers.

Thut Summary[edit]

Thutmose II was the cheese fourth ruler of the 18th dynasty. He was married to Hatshepsut, who became the first female pharaoh, beating Thutmose III out of the position. Little is known about him so if you are doing a report about pharaohs, pick Djoser because this guy was not the cream of the crop(trust me,I have learned my lesson).JK do what you want lol #pharaoh report :D

Expansion[edit]

Well, check Thutmose II off the list... almost I did my usual expansion and straightened out some dating controversy... this has by far required the most text to explain of all the 18th dynasty so far. I still have a little campaign data to add, but I've exhausted all my sources again. Thutmose II is probably tied with Thutmose IV as the hardest 18th dynasty pre-amarna pharaoh to document, so without a good archaeological discovery, it might be very hard to add much more after I get the campaigns taken care of, but if there is one place where expansion would be a little easier, it would be in monuments. my sources sum all that up as "very few and all messed up", so I can't really take care of it.

Excellent work Thanatosimii! In my researches for the Ahmose I article (which I am still adding to piecemeal) I have a few "left-over" references which are applicable to other, later rulers of the 18th dynasty. When I am done with Ahmose I'll add whatever additional material I can add from the resources I have at hand (I think I have a good KMT article somewhere that looks at the relative dates of succession for Hatshepsut/Thutmose III that also looks more closely at Thutmose II as well). For what it is worth, you are right in your general assessment that there is not a lot of material on this ruler, who pales in comparison to his immediate predecessor and successors.

Cheers! Captmondo

Age[edit]

It is impossible that Thutmose was so old. He ascended to the throne at age 8 and thus needed a regent. He was called a hawk in the nest in the early years of his reign, Egyptian slang for a child pharaoh. He died in 1479 BC after reigning 13 years. He must have been born in 1500 BC and died aged 21. 2A00:23C7:5882:8201:355F:D756:ECEF:E52A (talk) 15:03, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the Pharaoh of exodous.[edit]

Thutmose II cannot be the pharaoh of both the ethiopic war and the exodus. If moses was the general dispatched by Thutmose ii, Josephus tells us that Thutmose II had aims to kill moses because he was jealous over moses victory over the ethiopians. Josephus tells that moses fled until that king died and returned in the reign of his successors, thutmose iii according to manetho. 12.42.18.118 (talk) 17:02, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
