  General Information	He was the third pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt.  [4]
  History	About 1504 BCE, Amenhotep I died apparently without a son. He he was succeeded by a General of the Army, Thutmose, who was, in all probability, his son- or brother-in-law. It may be that he also had some direct familial connection with the Theban royal family. [3] The great age of obelisks began during the New Kingdom, in the eighteenth dynasty, when Thutmose I raised a pair at Karnak. [2] Thutmose I was a warrior, and undertook extensive campaigns in Nubia and Syria, reaching at least as far as Amosis had done. He also built extensively, adding two pylons and a pair of obelisks to the temple of Karnak, not to mention constructions elsewhere [1, 2, 3, 4] In about 1525 BCE, Thutmose I invaded northern Syria. He fought Mitanni and reached as far east as the Euphrates River. [2] The Syrian elephant, a subspecies of the Indian elephant (Elephas maximus). became known in Egypt for the first time during the Near Eastern campaigns of the New Kingdom. It was hunted by Thutmose I and Thutmose III near Nija on the Orontes River. [2]
