On March 30, 2010, a spokesman for the Egyptian Culture Ministry claimed it had unearthed a large red granite door in Luxor with inscriptions by User, a powerful adviser to the 18th dynasty Queen Hatshepsut who ruled between 1479 BC and 1458 BC, the longest of any woman.

* Thutmose III of Egypt, Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty ( 1479 BC – 1425 BC )

* Thutmose II of Egypt, Pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt ( c. 1493 BC – c. 1479 BC ).

Under Thutmose III ( 1479 – 1426 BC ) and Amenhotep II ( 1427 – 1400 BC ), the regular presence of the strong hand of the Egyptian ruler and his armies kept the Amorites and Canaanites sufficiently loyal.

Although contemporary records of her reign are documented in diverse ancient sources, Hatshepsut was described by early modern scholars as only having served as a co-regent from approximately 1479 to 1458 BC, during years seven to twenty-one of the reign previously identified as that of Thutmose III.

Her death is known to have occurred in 1458 BC, which implies that she became pharaoh circa 1479 BC.

Thus, Hatshepsut could have assumed power as early as 1512 BC, or, as late as 1479 BC.

The exact year depends on the year Thutmose ascended to the throne of Egypt and among scholars the estimates range from 1479 to 1504 BC.

Using the 1479 BC estimate the battle could have taken place in May 1457.

* Thutmose III of Egypt, Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty ( 1479 BC – 1425 BC ).

His reign is generally dated from 1493 to 1479 BC.

It is still possible to estimate when Thutmose II's reign would have begun by means of a heliacal rise of Sothis in Amenhotep I's reign, which would give him a reign from 1493 BC to 1479 BC, although uncertainty about how to interpret the rise also permits a date from 1513 BC to 1499 BC, and uncertainty about how long Thutmose I ruled could also potentially place his reign several years earlier still.
