He received the throne after the death of the previous king, [[Amenhotep I]]. During his reign, he campaigned deep into [[the Levant]] and [[Nubia]], pushing the borders of Egypt farther than ever before in each region. He also built many temples in Egypt, and a tomb for himself in the [[Valley of the Kings]]; he is the first king confirmed to have done this (though Amenhotep I may have preceded him). Thutmose I's reign is [[#Dates and length of reign|generally dated to 1506–1493 BC]], but a minority of scholars—who think that astrological observations used to calculate the timeline of ancient Egyptian records, and thus the reign of Thutmose I, were taken from the city of [[Memphis, Egypt|Memphis]] rather than from [[Thebes, Egypt|Thebes]]—would date his reign to 1526–1513 BC.<ref>[[Nicolas Grimal]], ''A History of Ancient Egypt'', Librairie Arthéme Fayard, 1988, p. 202.</ref><ref>''Ancient Egyptian Chronology'', chapter 10: "Egyptian Sirius/Sothic Dates and the Question of the Sirius–Based Lunar Calendar", Rolf Kraus, 2006, pp. 439–57.</ref> He was succeeded by his son [[Thutmose II]], who in turn was succeeded by Thutmose II's sister, [[Hatshepsut]].
