Ahmose called Turo


Ahmose called Turo was Viceroy of Kush under Amenhotep I and Thutmose I.
Ahmose called Turo was a son of Ahmose Si-tayit. Ahmose Turo's son Ahmose Patjenna would continue to serve the royal family during the reigns of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III.
Turo served under Ahmose as Commander of Buhen. Later he served as King's Son under Amenhotep I. He served under Thutmose I according to inscriptions dating to year 1 and 3. Turo is mentioned in an inscription at West-Silsileh belonging to the vizier User. This inscription dates to the reign of Hatshepsut. This may be a posthumous mention of the Viceroy. It's possible there were family connections between Ture and User; Turo is shown leading Vizier Aa'methu's daughters in procession..
A coronation decree exists recording the accession of Thutmose I. This unique document is a royal decree issued on the king's coronation day to the Viceroy of Kush, Thure, informing him of the king's accession, fixing the full titulary, the royal name to be used in offering oblations, and the royal name to be used in the oath.
Behold, there is brought to thee this , Living forever, and ever.
The inscriptions in Sehel record how Thutmose I traveled south and found the canal of Sesostris III :
"Year 3, first month of the third season, day 22, under the majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Akheperkare, who is given life. His majesty commanded to dig this canal, after he found it stopped up with stones, no ship sailed upon it. He sailed down-stream upon it, his heart glad, having slain his enemies. The king's-son, Thure."
