Djehutimesu III (1481 BCE – 11 March 1425 BCE) was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He inherited the throne from his father Djehutimesu II, but his stepmother Hatshepsut seized power and ruled as his regent until she declared herself pharaoh. When Hatshepsut died, Djehutimesu returned to power and ordered portraits of Hatshepsut to be destroyed. During his second reign, he expanded his kingdom to northern Syria and south to the Nile's Fourth Cataract. He gave 1,588 prisoners of war from Syria to a temple in Waset as slaves.[1]
