Cairo Museum. King Snefru stays in the shadow.
It called my full attention a week ago in Cairo museum garden seeing a slab in fine limestone with a text and a fine carving for king Snefru the founder of the fourth dynasty neglected in a shadowy corner of the museums garden. King Snefru ruled Egypt around 2575 B.C and built the two famous pyramids" the bent and the red" in Dahshur, south-west of Giza. This carving represents him, his titles and his cartouche under the protection of the Falcon –god Horus. Copyrig ©Musegypt
