Ptolemy IV, the Divine Ruler of Egypt

Ptolemy IV ruled Egypt from around 221 BC to 204 BC. His rule was unsuccessful, as he was more interested in pursuing art than ruling, and ancient texts indicate that the pharaoh built the largest man-powered ship ever built. The caduceus, a type of ship with oars, had 40 rows of oars and was manned by 4,000 people.

The structure of the ancient tomb was found accidentally while excavators were extending sewage lines to the village of Kom Ashqaw in Tama in the northern Sohag governorate. A team of researchers has so far uncovered a north-south wall, an east-west wall, and the south-west corner of the temple structure, which is engraved with carvings of the ancient Egyptian god of the Nile, Hapi, carrying offerings and surrounded by birds and flowers.

In one of the side streets, the mission uncovered the south-west corner of the temple and the rest of the north-south wall with the remains of repeated scenes of the idol Hapi carrying offerings accompanied by various animals and birds, and in front of him the remains of texts containing the name of King Ptolemy IV.
