Summary

Description

The coffin of King Kamose is of the type called rishi meaning feathered, which is characteristic of the 17th and early 18th dynasties. Kamose was the last king of the Theban Seventeenth Dynasty of Egypt. He was possibly the son of king Seqenenre Tao and Queen Ahhotep I and the full brother of Ahmose I, founder of the 18th Dynasty. His reign fell at the very end of the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt. Kamose has usually ascribed a reign of three years (his highest attested regnal year), although some scholars now favor giving him a longer reign of approximately five years.

His reign is important for the decisive military initiatives he took against the Hyksos, who had come to rule much of Northern and Middle Ancient Egypt….as far south as Cusae. It is believed that Queen Ahhotep I, as Regent, continued the military campaigns against the Hyksos until Ahmose I came of age and finally reconquered and reunified all of Egypt. This coffin is located at the {{|Egyptian Museum}} in Cairo and was personally photographed by Merja Attia in 2017.
