The Life of Thutmose III

Scriptural Research Institute

Sinopse

Thutmose III was the king of Egypt between circa 1491 and 1459 BC, after inheriting the throne from his father Thutmose II and his aunt Hatshepsut, however, after Hatshepsut died Thutmose III claimed to have been the king of Egypt throughout Hatshepsut’s reign, meaning his regal years began circa 1513 BC when his father Thutmose II died. This attempt to erase Hatshepsut as a king of Egypt was likely not personal, as he did not attempt to usurp her authority during his life, but more likely an attempt to restore the respect for the kingship that appears to have been lost while Hatshepsut was on the throne. The graffiti of Hatshepsut having sex with a man found near her mortuary temple clearly shows that she was not respected the way the previous god-like pharaohs had been, and Thutmose III was almost certainly trying to erase what many Egyptians viewed as a distasteful episode of their history. Ironically, her mortuary temple is viewed as one of the greatest architectural monuments of the New Kingdom and served as the basis of all later mortuary temples of the New Kingdom. Thutmose III did not attempt to erase Hatshepsut’s existence from Egyptian history, just her kingship, and she was still spoken of fondly as the ‘queen’ and ‘favorite wife of Karnak and is spoken Thutmose II.’It is accepted that he was only 2 years old when his father died and he became king in 1513 BC, although Hatshepsut held power as king until she died in 1491 BC. The two-year-old Thutmose III’s reign was established by Queen Hatshepsut over the objections of other claimants, as, she claimed that her husband Thutmose II had wanted Thutmose III to become king. Her reasons are not clear, and it is debated whether she was simply trying to seize power for herself and using her two-year-old nephew and stepson as a pawn, or following the legitimate wishes of her husband. Even her gender identity seems to have been in question, as there is evidence that she took her sister Iset, Thutmose III’s mother, as her great royal wife and queen. This may have also been to protect Thutmose III, as Iset could claim the co-regency if something happened to her, however, she does appear to have lived as a man, treating Thutmose III as her own son. Whether this behavior was an affectation due to the male-dominated culture they lived in, or a genuine male identity may never be known, however, she is claimed as a hero to feminists and transgender people today.

The Populist Wave -...

Arlo Holders

Populism, a term often used in modern political discourse, refers to movements or ideologies that seek to represent the interests of ordinary people, often contrasting with the perceived elite or establishment. Understanding the origins of populism requires exploring both its historical roots and its evolution over time. Though its contemporary forms are often associated with charismatic leaders and mass mobilization, populism has a deep and complex history that spans several centuries.
Historically, populism can trace its roots back to the late 19th century, when agrarian movements in the United States and Russia first used the term. The Populist Party, founded in the U.S. in 1891, advocated for the interests of farmers who felt exploited by industrial elites and urban centers. In Russia, the narodniks, or "people's movement," emerged around the same time, focusing on the belief that Russia’s future lay in the empowerment of the peasantry. These early populist movements were fueled by economic and social inequalities, with the central grievance being the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few.
The core tenet of these early populist movements was the idea of a moral divide between the "pure" common people and the corrupt elites. This populist rhetoric resonated strongly with those who felt neglected by the political establishment, emphasizing a deep distrust of centralized political systems and economic power. Populism, then, was not simply about policy disagreements but a call for a deeper cultural and moral reckoning with societal inequalities.

A Rare Recording of President...

President John F. Kennedy

President John F. Kennedy gave his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin. It is one of the best-known speeches of the Cold War, and among the most famous anti-communist speeches. Twenty-two months earlier, East Germany had erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to West Berlin. The speech was aimed as much at the Soviet Union as it was at West Berliners. The speech is considered one of Kennedy's finest, delivered at the height of the Cold War and the New Frontier. It was a great morale boost for West Berliners, who lived in an enclave deep inside East Germany and feared a possible East German occupation. 
 
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the youngest person to assume the presidency by election and the youngest president at the end of his tenure. Kennedy served at the climax of the Cold War, and the majority of his foreign policy concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba. A Democrat, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in both houses of the U.S. Congress prior to his presidency.

Stokely Carmichael: The Life and...

Editors Charles River

“Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.” – Stokely Carmichael 
In the late 1960s, Stokely Carmichael would become one of the most influential and controversial figures in America, founding and leading new organizations while being meticulously shadowed by the country’s national security apparatus, particularly J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. The attention would ultimately compel him to move to Africa, where he changed his name to Kwame Ture and became one of the world’s most famous Pan-African leaders until his death in Guinea in 1998.  
Since then, he has remained a subject of both praise and criticism, from contemporaries and historians alike. SNCC Chairman Phil Hutchings, despite being the one who pushed Carmichael out of the organization, aptly summed up the dichotomy: "Even though we kidded and called him 'Starmichael', he could sublimate his ego to get done what was needed to be done....He would say what he thought, and you could disagree with it but you wouldn't cease being a human being and someone with whom he wanted to be in relationship."
