Who said he had pushed the boundaries of Egypt as far as the sun shines?

The phrase about pushing the boundaries of Egypt "as far as the sun shines" is attributed to Pharaoh Thutmose III. He was known for his military conquests and expansion of Egypt's territory during the 18th Dynasty. Thutmose III's campaigns extended Egypt's influence into regions that are now part of modern-day Syria and Nubia. This statement reflects his ambition and the vast reach of his empire.
