Were there two thutmoses II's

Answer 1

Most likely yes, the First Thutmose II was Amenmose, son of Thutmose I/Amenhotep I, he was an army commander, and fought in the Sinai Peninsula, (the Levant), several rebellious groups in Bedoiun, and Other countries. Amenmose's name was in a cartouche indicating he was co reigning with his father. His wife was Iset, his son was Thutmose III/Amenhotep II, his other wife was Neferure/Hui/Hatshepsut and his daughter was Merytre-Hatshepsut. He most likely died in battle.

The second Thutmose II was Hatshepsut's adopted son, who was co-ruling with her under the name "Hatshepsut Xnem Amen." his name was Senmut. He fought against Nubia and at age 27, received his adopted father's title, Thutmose II, and reigned for 13 years until he disappeared at age 41. Hatshesput then passed the crown to her stepson, Thutmose III/Amenhotep II then age 46. There is no evidence that there were two Thutmose II's but a lot of suggestion proves it right. There is evidence that Hatshepsut did have a son-but adopted, as he was her "son" he was first in line and his "brother" Thutmose III/Amenhotep II was not Hatshepsut's son but stepson. Evidence also proves that Senmut became Hatshepsut Xnem Amen and the second Thutmose II and as a young child, was co-ruling with his mother. Senmut was not Hatshepsut's lover but rather her adopted son, as no evidence proves that they were lovers but more evidence proves they were mother and son.
