Editing Thutmose II (section)

====The Nubian Rebellion====
In Year 1, the Coronation of Thutmose triggered [[Kingdom of Kush|Kush]] to rebel, as it had the habit of doing upon the transition of [[Egypt]]ian [[kingship]]. The [[Nubia]]n state had been completely subjugated by Thutmose I.<ref>Steindorff, George; and Seele, Keith. ''When Egypt Ruled the East''. p. 35. University of Chicago, 1942</ref> Rebels from Khenthennofer rose up, and the Egyptian forces retreated into a fortress built by Thutmose I.<ref>Breasted, James Henry. ''Ancient Records of Egypt, Vol. II'' p. 49. University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1906</ref> On account of his relative youth at the time, Thutmose II dispatched an army into Nubia rather than leading it himself. He seems to have easily crushed this revolt with the aid of his father's military generals.<ref>Breasted, James Henry. ''Ancient Records of Egypt, Vol. II'' p. 50. University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1906</ref> An account of the campaign is given by the historian [[Josephus]] who refers to it as the ''Ethiopic War''.

<blockquote>'''Aswan Stela of Thutmose II summary''': Kush started to conspire, making subjects of the Lord of the Two Lands (nb-tawy) to contemplate a revolt. Plundering took place behind the fortification lines built by Thutmose I to hold back revolts from the foreign lands of the tribesmen of [[Ta-Seti]] of Khent-hen-nefer. The chief (wr) to the north of Kush had started hostilities, together with two tribesmen of [[Ta-Seti]] who were the sons of the chief (wr) of Kush. The foreign lands were divided into five parts.
