Who was King Seqenenre Tao?

Was he a brave man or a coward? Little is known of the life of King Seqenenre Tao the Second aside from what we can see on the face of his mummy: a deep gash on his forehead and an empty space where his right eye should be.

They reveal the true measure of the king in Museum Secrets: Inside the Egyptian Museum. Website: Twitter: Linkedin: Facebook:
