The Napoleon of Egypt

By A.R. Duckworth

Hatshepsut is dead. Tutmose is now sole master of Egypt and intends to be master of much more. He also wants his sister, Nepherure, as queen, the only woman he ever wanted. But can he win her? And what of his brother, Senenmut, who could have had Egypt, but was forced to flee the country and hole up as a fugitive?

Among Egyptologists, Tutmose lll is considered the greatest warrior pharaoh Egypt ever produced, earning the title - 'The Napoleon of Egypt'. But how did he achieve such fame? How to raise armies year after year for 20 years and crush the powerful city states of the Levant and Syria, making Egypt the world's first empire?

Tutmose had a secret weapon foundational to his war machine. Hundreds of thousands of slaves. Not used as soldiers, but by their work, freeing others, Egypt's peasant farmers, to become his crack troops.

Tutmose's brutal life of continually war, helps to numb the pain of longing, but at last, he finds love. Love for his child.

By the time of Tutmose's death, Egypt ruled most of the known world. So why did she not remain at the top of her game? Why, under the next pharaoh, was she forced to make peace with her sworn enemies?

Answer - the Exodus. The loss of her slaves brought an end to Egypt's control of the world.

Is there evidence that an Exodus really happened? And how it happened?

The theories are legion but look at the evidence as the story unfolds.
