The museum also displayed a statue of King Horemheb and the god Atum. Horemheb was the last king of the 18th Egyptian dynasty in the history of ancient Egypt.
The statue was made of diorite stone, and depicts King Horemheb in the official guise kneeling before the god Atum, also in the official guise, and they were fixed on the base with a cavity. On either side of the chair on which the god Atum sits is a view of a sign in the ancient Egyptian language called “Sama Tawi,” which means monotheism. It depicts a traditional view of the deity Heabi.
