       of independent reign, battle of Megiddo in campaign against the
       Ruthennu. In the following years campaigns in Syria, fifteen in
       all; cities reduced and the Kharu, Zahi, Ruthennu, Kheta and
       Naharaina made tributary. Great activity in temple building.
       The influence of Syrian culture now begins to be felt in Egypt.
       Art and manners lose their distinctive characteristics, and a
       decline sets in.

       fifth year in Egypt, rests secure in his supremacy abroad.
       Trade and art are developed at home. Close relations between
       Egypt and Syria. Marries Thi, perhaps of Syrian origin (mother
       of Amenhotep IV), also Gilukhipa (or Kirgipa), daughter of the
       king of Mitanni (Naharain). He becomes the ally of the king of
       Mitanni. He also seems to have married a daughter of the king of
       Kardunyash (Babylon).

       _Monuments._--Very numerous. The Avenue of Sphinxes between
       Karnak and Luxor; temple of Mentu at Karnak; great temple of
