His birth name we are told was Tuthmosis, meaning Born of the god Thoth, though this is a Greek version. His actual Egyptian name was Djehutymes I, but he is also sometimes referred to as Thutmose I, or Thutmosis I. His thrown name was A-Kheper-ka-re (Aakheperkara).
Historians believe Thutmose III was not fond of his aunt and co-regent Hatshepsut. She was not a warrior and allowed Egyptâs neighbors to believe they could free themselves from Egypt. Thutmose IIIâs formative years spent in the army made him an ingenious warrior who was not afraid of battle.
