Abstract

This study is a new publication of a rectangular base of the statue
of a distinctive group consisting of a falcon and King Thutmose III,
kept in the Egyptian museum in Cairo - CGC 1237. The author will try
using the pedestal to reconstruct a complete picture of the original
with a discussion of the dating, and the original site of the statue.
These issues will be discussed based on the available inscriptions
and archaeological data. Although nothing remains of the statue
except for the base bearing the traces of the falcon and the king
walking in front of it, this object is a unique model of the falcon
Montu. Regarding the function of the statue, the falcon Montu's
role towards the king appears through religious books, especially
the pyramid texts, which will be reviewed during the study. We will
discuss his relationship with the king, as well as the reason for
making this statue.
