Usually, in this type of engraving, kings are depicted in a larger than normal size, to cast terror and fear into the heart of those who see it
Tuthmosis III took care of the army, made it regular, and provided it with knights and chariots. Also, during his reign, the ancient Egyptians mastered the manufacture of arrows and arrows thanks to him. Unlike the reign of Thutmose, at the time when Hatshepsut was ruling, she followed a peaceful policy with the areas of Egyptian influence in Palestine and Nubia and with its neighbors, and she cared for the navy and sent naval expeditions to the country of Punt and to the coasts of Lebanon for commercial exchange. She took advantage of some protectorates in Syria and Mitanni to rebel against Egyptian rule. As soon as Thutmose III ascended the throne after the death of Hatshepsut, he had to restore Egyptian control over those areas to secure the country’s borders. Thutmose launched sixteen military campaigns against Asia (the region of Syria and Palestine), through which he was able to establish his influence there, just as he established Egypt’s influence as far south as Nubia.
