On April 3, 22 royal Egyptian mummies will be transferred from their current home at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir to Fustat’s National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. The mummies will take part in the The Pharaohs’ Golden Parade, an extravagant procession that will start downtown and end in Fustat. Today, we will take a look at the lives and accomplishments of two more of these mummies: King Thutmose III and Queen Hatshepsut. For the next two decades, Thutmose III grew into a warrior pharaoh of the New Kingdom. His mummy was discovered in the Deir el-Bahari Cache (TT 320), west of Luxor in 1881.
