The Crown Prince Thutmose (or, more accurately, Djehutymose) was the eldest son of pharaoh Amenhotep III, who lived during the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt and Queen Tiye. Prince Thutmose served as a priest of Ptah in ancient Memphis, and had the full titles of Crown Prince, Overseer of the Priests of Upper and Lower Egypt, High Priest of Ptah at Memphis and Sm-priest of Ptah. A small figure of the prince as a miller is in the Louvre Museum "while a recumbent mummiform figure is in Berlin." Prince Thutmose is best remembered for the limestone sarcophagus of his cat, Ta-miu (she-cat), now in the Cairo Museum. The Crown Prince Thutmose (or, more accurately, Djehutymose) was the eldest son of pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, who lived during the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. Prince Thutmose served as a priest of Ptah in ancient Memphis, and had the full titles of Crown Prince, Overseer of the Priests of Upper and Lower Egypt, High Priest of Ptah at Memphis and Sm-priest of Ptah. A small figure of the prince as a miller is in the Louvre Museum "while a recumbent mummiform figure is in Berlin." Prince Thutmose is best remembered for the limestone sarcophagus of his cat, Ta-miu (she-cat), now in the Cairo Museum.
He disappears from the public records and appears to have died some time during the third decade, fairly late, of Amenhotep III's kingship. His younger brother Amenhotep IV, better known as Akhenaten, then succeeded to the throne instead.
Freud's 20th century interpretation
In his 1939 book Moses and Monotheism Sigmund Freud presented the idea that Crown Prince Thutmose's younger brother Akhenaten was associated with the Biblical character Moses. The idea was more recently (1998) reconsidered by Egyptologist Jan Assmann in Moses the Egyptian. The idea that Thutmose himself was Moses has not received the same attention, although the previous cited examples point out that the Moses' name is possibly a common element of Egyptian names (e.g. Thut-MOSE, "Son of Thoth," Ra-MOSE, "Son of Ra"). The canonical Christian Acts of the Apostles (7:22) further claims that "Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians" -- such as a Priest of Ptah or Aten. See for historical discussion.
