Thutmosis I

Thutmosis I 𓇳𓉻𓆣𓂓 (or π“…π“„Ÿπ“‹΄) was the third 𓏼 pharaoh 𓉐𓉻 of the 18th Dynasty. His name π“…π“„Ÿπ“‹΄ means β€œBorn of Thoth.” Thutmosis I 𓇳𓉻𓆣𓂓 was responsible for many successful military campaigns and building projects, including additions to the Temple of Amun at Karnak. Though, in my opinion, Thutmosis I’s 𓇳𓉻𓆣𓂓 most notable achievement is being Hatshepsut’s π“‡‹π“ π“ˆ–π“ŽΉπ“π“„‚π“π“€Όπ“ͺ father 𓇋𓏏𓀀!

This statue is in the British Museum! I dream of going back to the British Museum one day – I was lucky enough to be able to go there twice on my trip to London, and even luckier that I got to explore the museum with my NonnoπŸ’œ.

Cartouche of Thutmosis I

This fragment of a limestone π“‡‹π“ˆ–π“ˆ™π“Œ‰ relief shows part of the cartouche for the pharaoh 𓉐𓉻 Thutmosis I 𓇳𓉻𓆣𓂓! Let’s take a look at his name π“‚‹π“ˆ–!

While Thutmosis I’s birth name is usually written as (π“…π“„Ÿπ“‹΄) this particular cartouche shows a variant of this name π“‚‹π“ˆ–. The full variant would most likely read (π“ˆπ“…π“„Ÿπ“‹΄π“„€π“₯π“Šƒ) which means β€œThoth is born, who has appeared perfectly.”

Another variant of his birth name is (π“ˆπ“…π“‡³π“„Ÿπ“‡π“Šƒ) which means β€œThoth is born, who has appeared like Ra.” The more popular variant of this birth name, (π“…π“„Ÿπ“‹΄) simply means β€œThoth is born.”

Thutmosis I 𓇳𓉻𓆣𓂓 was responsible for many successful military campaigns and building projects, including additions to the Temple of Amun π“‡‹π“ π“ˆ– at Karnak.
