Sarcophagus of Prince Thutmose's cat, Ta-miuSchist sculpture depicting Prince Thutmose as a mummy lying on a bier with a ba-bird on his chest
Prince Thutmose served as a priest of Ptah in ancient Memphis.[2] His full royal titles were "Crown Prince, Overseer of the Priests of Upper and Lower Egypt, High Priest of Ptah in Memphis and Sm-priest (of Ptah)."[2]
He is known from a relatively small number of objects. A small schist statuette in the Louvre Museum shows the prince as a miller and another small schist statue in Berlin depicts him as a mummy lying on a bier.[3] The miller statuette is inscribed on three sides with this text:
(right)...the king's son the sem-priest Djhutmose; (left) I am the servant of this noble god, his miller; (front) Incense for the Ennead of the western necropolis.[2]
Prince Thutmose is best remembered for the limestonesarcophagus of his cat, Ta-miu (she-cat), now in the Cairo Museum.[4] The cat sarcophagus of Prince Thutmose conclusively establishes that he was indeed the eldest son of Amenhotep III, since it provides his then current title of 'Crown Prince.'[2] Thutmose is also attested by a total of 7 pairs of calcite and pottery vases in the Louvre.[2]
Prince Thutmose disappears from the public records and appears to have died some time during the third decade of Amenhotep III's kingship, fairly late.[3] In his place, his younger brother Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, succeeded to the throne.
