He's based on Akhenaten, who's the basis of Moses, and he gets his name from Tuthmosis, which is where Tuthmosis to Moses.

Eckart FrahmGUEST
And of course, one can debate that.
Eckart FrahmGUEST
And others have said, oh, well, what about the Akkad kingdom of the third millennium of 2350 with Sauron of Akkad or the Egyptian state of the second half of the second millennium with various kings like Thutmose III or so who conquers a few portions of Syria.
Eckart FrahmGUEST
I would still say for me, these earlier states, including the Middle Eastern state, they might be called aspirational empires.
Eckart FrahmGUEST
So the rulers of those states would call themselves king of the world or so, but they aren't really in any meaningful sense yet.

SamHOST
But all of a sudden when Joshua and his successors lead the conquest into the promised land, there's these really cool things called the Amarna Letters.
SamHOST
Now, you remember Thutmose III had conquered all that region? So all these cities pay their tributes to Egypt, right? Now all of a sudden, you get to the Amarna Letters, you have 300 different settlements all of a sudden that just explode that are all of a sudden Hebrew settlements.
SamHOST
Where'd they come from? Who are these people? But Yohanan Aharoni, I just mentioned him, from Tel Aviv University, says, "There's no doubt in my opinion that this wave of settlement from the beginning of the Iron Age is all Israelite." And so these letters that are like flares, all these cities start saying, "Pharaoh, we need help.
SamHOST

Joann FletcherNARRATOR
As we can see here on these wall scenes behind me, you can see the rows of shaven-headed priests bringing in the sacred bark on which the statue of the god is housed, hidden behind these little curtains to keep him from profane eyes.
Joann FletcherNARRATOR
And the bark itself is being greeted by the two co-rulers, the young male pharaoh, Tuthmosis, bringing up the ceremonial rear as a kind of glorified magician's assistant.
Joann FletcherNARRATOR
He's burning incense to welcome the gods' arrival.
Joann FletcherNARRATOR
And yet center stage is Hatshepsut herself.
