At Karnak ,
Thutmosis III
restructured the central areas of the temple , removing Amenhotep I's cult chapels of limestone and replacing them in sandstone . Soon after beginning his period of sole rule , he inaugurated the construction of the 3h-mnw , where the overall theme of the relief scenes depicts the renewal of Thutmosis III's kingship , primarily through the Sed-Festival . Later in his reign , Thutmosis III had the entire central area redecorated with scenes and particularly inscriptions detailing his campaigns in Asia . These annals , inscribed in the 42nd year of his reign , have become the primary historical record of the king's conquests . The 6th and 7th pylons at the
Amun Temple
were added by King Thutmosis III , and later covered with scenes and inscriptions naming the places over which he claimed control . A temple to the god
Ptah
was built on the north side of the precinct , and a granite bark shrine was made for the centre of the temple , as well as an Egyptian alabaster one later joined to a shrine of
Thutmosis IV
and set near the 4th pylon . Transformations to the works of
Hatshepsut
also took place in the reign
of Thutmosis III and were completed by his son Amenhotep II .
At Medinet Habu , Thutmosis III completed the small temple to Amun , and also built a memorial temple for his father just to the north .
Late in his reign , Thutmosis III converted and elevated shrine at Deir El-Bahari into his own chapel that is called 'Dsr-3ht' , a name that means 'Sacred Horizon' .
