apr 2, 1371 BC - Death of Crown Prince Thutmose
Description:
Thutmose exact year, age or cause of death is unknown.
Thutmose disappears from the public records and appears to have died some time during the third decade of Amenhotep III's kingship.
His early death led to the reign of Akhenaten, his younger brother—as the successor to the Egyptian throne—and the intrigues of the century leading up to Ramesses II, the start and ultimately the failure of Atenism, the Amarna letters, and the changing roles of the kingdom's powers.
