He was the eight pharaoh of the XVIII Dynasty, son of Amenofi II and queen Taa, he reigned for about nine years; from the exams on his mummy it seems he died at about thirty years old.
To him goes the pacific solution with the Mitanni. After the fragile truce obtained by Amenofi II, Tuthmosi IV after a military expedition was able to estabilish, after long negotiations with king Artatama, a peace treaty scaled by sending the king's of the Mitanni daughter to the pharaoh's harem.
Tuthmosi completed and built, in Karnak, Tuthmosi's III obelisk, which had remained incomplete for forty-two years, he freed the sphinx in Giza from the sand and protected it with a wall.
The legend tells that while he was resting in the necropoli in Menfi, Harmakis appeared to him in a dream, of whom the sphinx was the ipostasi, promising him the throne if he would free it from the sand. The funeral temple is south-west of Amenofi's II one.
His tomb in the Valley of the kings was in need of restoration since Horemheb's VIII year, who gave the charge to the architect Maya. During the XXI dynasty, his mummy was moved to Amenofi's II tomb.
