On May 15, 1492, his troops began to attack forward in battle sequence. At this time, the coalition army under the command of King Kadesh was camping outside the fortress of Megiddo. Thutmose III deployed part of his forces on a hill south of the stream of Kina, while most of it was directed toward the fortress of Megiddo.

He rode on a shining chariot and commanded his troops to attack, like an eagle god with teeth and claws. Under a wave of onslaught, the coalition forces have been routed. They abandoned their chariots and fled in panic into the fortress of Megiddo.

Thutmose III did not immediately attack the city, but gathered the spoils of war and laid siege to Megiddo. Soon after, the city of Megiddo surrendered, but King Kadeshi fled.

Thutmose III showed his military talent in this war, he knew the value of logistics and army supply lines, the importance of rapid movement and the power of surprise attacks. He led several battles that could serve as operational examples, and he was probably the first commander in history to use the power of the navy to defeat the enemy.

Thutmose was completely comparable to Napoleon, but unlike Napoleon, he never lost a war. He organized a total of 16 wars in Palestine, Syria, and Nubia, and his treatment of prisoners of war was humane, and he built a stable empire during his reign, and both Palestine and Syria willingly submitted to his rule. He created an Egypt that was unprecedentedly prosperous.

After his great victory at the Battle of Megiddo, Thutmose III stationed an elite army in Western Asia and sent a governor to govern him.

Thutmose III, for the sake of long-term stability, began to reorganize the territories he had reconquered. First, he deposed the kings of the cities, replaced them with nobles who were loyal to him, and gave them a certain autonomy to rule, and secondly, he sent the sons of these nobles to Egypt as hostages, and on the other hand, to give them an Egyptian education and cultivate their affection for Egypt. This tactic has been used by conquerors in the history of the world, and Thutmose III was clearly the first.

In order to land on the coast of Syria and establish an operational base there to conquer Kadeshi and the interior to the east, Thutmose III built a powerful naval fleet.

The 6th war was the Battle of Kadesh. His troops, by navy, landed in Simila, north of Tripoli on the Syrian coast. He then commanded his troops to attack the city of Kadesh. The city of Kadieshi is located on the left bank of the Orontes River, not far from Homs. Since it was a powerful fortress, it took Thutmose III a long time to conquer it.

Thutmose III spent more than 20 years waging continuous wars, winning a series of military victories in Megiddo, Kadesh, Karhemesh and other places, restoring the rule of Syria and Palestine that had been lost during the Hatshepsut era.

In the 7th War, there was a large-scale rebellion in the conquered city-states of Western Asia that Egypt had conquered, and Thutmose III returned from the front to quell the series of rebellions.

Thutmose III's conquest of Syria severely stung the great power of Western Asia, Mitanni, and a clash of powers was inevitable.

In the 8th War, for the Battle of Mitanni. The sorrow of the Kingdom of Mitanni lies in the fact that its opponent was Thutmose III, the most prominent military strategist of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Egypt has achieved overwhelming superiority in several major wars.

In 1458 BC, Thutmose III crossed the Euphrates River to pursue his rivals and seized the land of the Mitanni kingdom on the west bank of the Euphrates. Eventually, Mitanni succumbed and became a vassal of Egypt.

This shook the whole of Western Asia, and Assyria, Babylon, and Hittite asked for an alliance with Egypt. Babylon also gave a princess to Thutmose III as a concubine. For the first time, the two oldest centers of civilization were united in the form of a marriage.

As the prestige of Thutmose tributary faded, more and more countries paid tribute to him. His fleet was equally invincible, and the Eastern Mediterranean became his sphere of influence, with the Aegean islands, Crete, and the island of Cyprus all in his maritime empire.

Expansion to the north was his strategic priority, but Thutmose did not forget Nubia south of Egypt, pushing the Egyptian border from the Third Falls in Lower Nubia to the Fourth Falls (in present-day Ethiopia).

In the 16th and final war of Thutmose III, he destroyed the city of Kadesite due to the rebellion of the United Kingdoms. After this battle, the remains of the Hyksos were no longer to be seen.

In his later years, Thutmose gradually became obsessed with enjoying wealth and honor. He had his son Amenhoteb II rule with him.

Amenhotep II, reign: 26 years, 1460-1434 BC.

In 1460 BC, Thutmose III's son Amenhotab II succeeded to the throne of Egypt and was the seventh pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. At this time, Thutmose III was not dead. Amenhoteb II co-ruled with his father in the early days of his succession.

In 1457 BC, Thutmose III died, and Syria rebelled with the support of Mitanni.

After the death of Thutmose III, he was buried in the Valley of the Kings.

After the death of Thutmose III, his first three successors continued to maintain Egypt's military strength, but only to consolidate the gains left by their ancestors and rarely expanded. Perhaps the territory conquered by Thutmose III was at the limit of productivity and transportation conditions in his time.

Thutmose III was the most martial pharaoh in ancient Egypt, and because of his short appearance, he was known as "the first world hero" and "Napoleon of ancient Egypt". For the first time, the advanced civilizations of the Middle East, including Mesopotamia and the Nile, were so closely linked.

Thutmose III was a beloved pharaoh who possessed all the qualities of a great ruler, who never failed in war, who surpassed his predecessors in administration, who was a great statesman, who was a perfect jockey, shooter, athlete, and discerning patron of business.

Thutmose III's reign was remarkable for his own taste and good deeds, and apart from his desperate efforts to erase traces of Hatshepsut, Thutmose III was not a flashy, self-indulgent man. He was a sincere and just emperor.
