Mummy of King Seti I will be transferred in Pharaohs' Golden Parade to NMEC

CAIRO – 31 March 2021: - One of the most beautiful and best-preserved of the royal sepulchers is the tomb of Seti I in the Valley of the Kings, with wall decorations in vivid colors.

Son of Ramses I, the founder of the 19th Dynasty during the New Kingdom era, Seti I led a battle against the Hittites. His military activities and victories were carefully recorded at Karnak, in the temple of Amun. 

His mummy was discovered in 1898 in the Tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35) in Deir El Bahari. It is one of the mummies being transferred in the unrivaled Pharaohs’ Golden Parade on April 3 from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat.
