CAIRO - 26 March 2021: Thutmose IV was the King who erected “The Dream Stela” between the paws of the Great Sphinx at Giza.

 

 

“The Dream Stela,” tells us the story of how, as a young prince, he fell asleep in the shade of this colossal figure while hunting in the desert nearby.

 

 

The Sphinx appeared to him in his dreams and instructed him to clear away the sand that covered its body; in return, he would be made the next pharaoh…and he was!

Discovered in 1898, in the tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35) Cache in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, the mummy of Thutmose IV will be among the 22 royal mummies transferred in a grand parade, The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade,  from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
