Lion of the Sun: a Chronicle of the Wars, Battles and Great Deeds of Pharaoh Thutmose Iii, Great Lion of Egypt, As Told to Thaneni the Scribe Richard Gabriel

Lion Of The Sun continues the saga of Thutmose III (1480?1426 B. C. E.) of Egypt as told by his oldest friend and scribe, Thaneni, in the chronicle entitled Warrior Pharaoh (iUniverse, 2001). Having been denied his rightful claim to the throne by his aunt, Hatshepsut, Thutmose gained his place as king of Egypt by a military coup. Now as Pharaoh, Thutmose must deal with the threats that confront Egypt. Lion Of The Sun is Thaneni's tale of Thutmose's life as warrior king, the Great Lion of Egypt, whom history has remembered as the greatest warrior pharaoh of all time.
