Thutmose (prince)

Crown Prince Thutmose was the eldest son, and original heir apparent, of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye during the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He was also the elder brother of Amenhotep IV, who would later become known as Akhenaten.

Early life
Not much is known about Thutmose's early life. Thutmose died relatively young, which left a lasting impact on the dynasty's line of succession. Although he was heir to Amenhotep III, his early death led to his younger brother, Amenhotep, taking over as Crown Prince. As such, this event is a direct precursor to the Atenist heresy, the Amarna letters, the eventual rise of Ramesses II, and the changing roles of the kingdom's powers. ==Career==

Ta-miu's sarcophagus explicitly refers to Thutmose with the title Crown Prince, conclusively establishing that he was, in fact, the then eldest son of Amenhotep III.' Thutmose is also attested by a total of seven pairs of calcite and pottery vases in the Louvre in Paris. ==Death==
