According to the tomb autobiography of Ahmose, son of Ebana, Thutmose traveled up the Nile and fought in the battle, personally killing the Nubian king.[15] Upon victory, he had the Nubian king's body hung from the prow of his ship, before he returned to Thebes.[15] After that campaign, he led a second expedition against Nubia in his third year in the course of which he ordered the canal at the first cataract—which had been built under Sesostris III of the 12th Dynasty—to be dredged in order to facilitate easier travel upstream from Egypt to Nubia. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7803.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7803.txt
