April 3: Mummy of King Siptah to be transferred in Pharaohs’ Golden Parade to NMEC

CAIRO – 1 April 2021: King Siptah was appointed to the throne of Egypt as a boy, placed there by a powerful official named Bay. 

Since he was too young to rule alone, his stepmother Tawosret, wife of Seti II, took on the role of regent. 

His mummy was discovered in 1898 in the Tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35) in Valley of the Kings, Luxor. 

It will be transferred with the royal mummies in The Pharaohs’ Golden parade from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to the National Museum of the Egyptian Civilization on April 3.

Don’t miss this incredible event!
