This is pretty fascinating.
Thutmose I, Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, died in 1482 BC. He is one of the more popular candidates for the Pharaoh of Egypt depicted in the Bible.
The Battle of Megiddo is thought by some to have occurred in 1482 (though this is not the most mainstream date, apparently). This was the first military engagement formally recorded by history and the first reported use of the composite bow. (This site is traditionally considered synonymous with the valley of Armageddon)
Thutmose I may also have been the first Egyptian ruler buried in the Valley of the Kings. You could go and perhaps see pyramids being constructed.
