Tuthmosis IV Sphinx Dream Stela

The Sphinx Dream Stela is the story of how a young Prince Tuthmosis (son of Amenhotep II) was hunting in the desert one day when he stopped for a rest between the sphinx's paws, much of sphinx was covered in sand blown. Tuthmosis fell asleep and in his dream the Sphinx spoke to him, promising the throne of Egypt in return for clearing the sand from its body. Tuthmosis cleared the sand and so the Sphinx made him King of Egypt.

The Tomb of Shuroy
by John Watson

Exterior of the Tomb of Shuroy



Tomb TT13, a small, T-shaped, two chambered structure on the West Bank at Luxor belongs to Shuroy, and his wife, Wernefer. It is located at Dra Abu el-Naga. He was the Head of the Brazier Bearers in the Temple of Amun at Karnak sometime during the 19th Dynasty, while his wife was a chantress of Amun. His tomb is characterized by scenes that are rapidly drawn, sometimes only in red ink outlines. They usually lack details. The coloration is soft, almost pastels, applied to a light grey or white background, with the heavy use of blue.
