Sihathor IV (born as Sihathor Sneferu Merenptah Senusret Amenemhat Seti on 10 November 2010) is Emperor of the Egyptian Empire and the King of the United Kingdom of Egypt, King of Upper and Lower Nubia, Sovereign Lord of Yemen, Cyprus, Kush, Punt and Libya.

Sihathor was born in the Palace of the Lotus during the reign of his paternal great-grandfather, King Tutankhamun VI, and became heir apparent when his brother, Crown Prince Ramesses, died in a car crash in 2028. He was made Prince of Thebes in 2029 and his proclamation was held in 2031. He was educated at the Pharaoh Amenhotep VIII Institute of Education, and went on to complete a engineering degree from the Imperial University of Sesostria. Sihathor served in the Pharaonic Navy from 2035 to 2042, and about 5 years earlier in 2030, he married Lady Tiye of Mendes. They currently have five children: Tutankhamun, Ahmose, Ramesses, Tiye and Meritra.

As heir apparent, Sihathor undertook official duties and engagements on behalf of his grandfather. He founded the Blue Lotus Society in 2046, sponsored by the Prince's Treasury, and became patron or president of more than 200 other charities and organisations. He advocated for the conservation of historic buildings and the importance of architecture in society and culture.

Sihathor became emperor upon his grandfather's death in 2048. At the age of 37, he was the youngest person to ever accede to the Egyptian throne since Senusret XII. Significant events in his reign have included his coronations in 2049 and his presidency of the council of action of SHEMU.

Sihathor is the 1035th ruler of Egypt (or the 1049th if the fourteen usurpers are included) and the youngest person to ascend to the Horus throne since Senusret XII. He is also the first pharaoh to inherit the throne without succeeding a parent since Twosret V. Sihathor is the 14th pharaoh of Egypt's XLIV Dynasty and was named in honor of Sihathor III, who reigned from 1140 to 1154 AD.

Early Life[]

Sihathor Sneferu Merenptah Senusret Amenemhat Seti Satutankhamun Hesuttutankhamun was born on November 10, 2010, in Sesostria, during the reign of his paternal great-grandfather, Emperor Tutankhamun VI. He was the second son of then Throne Prince Tutankhamun and Throne Princess Henutmira. Sihathor received his early education at the Pharaoh Amenhotep VIII Institute of Education, followed by his enrollment at the Imperial University of Sesostria in 2027. He graduated in 2033 with a degree in engineering. Subsequently, he attended the Imperial Sesostris the Glorious Military Academy, graduating in 2035. Sihathor then served in the Egyptian Navy for seven years. Initially, Sihathor was not expected to succeed to the throne. However, following the death of his great-grandfather in 2016, his grandfather Ahmose succeeded to the throne as Ahmose VIII. At his coronation, Sihathor presented the state seal of the realm to his grandfather. Sihathor's father, Crown Prince Tutankhamun, was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and eventually passed away in 2026. His eldest son, Prince Ramesses, became the new Crown Prince. However, this state of affairs was short-lived, as Prince Ramesses died in a car crash in 2028. As he was unmarried and had only an illegitimate son, Sihathor was appointed the new Crown Prince. Pharaoh Ahmose VIII ordered Sihathor to marry immediately, which he did to his girlfriend Tiye on May 8, 2029. The couple welcomed their first child, named Tutankhamun after Sihathor's father, on June 8, 2030. Ahmose VIII wasted no time in teaching his grandson the ways of ruling. The day after Prince Ramesses' funeral, Sihathor began attending meetings of the Privy Council. He became known as "the beloved" for his charitable acts, visits to hospitals, schools, factories, and other places, as well as his charming personality, which earned him a high level of popularity. Sihathor was appointed Regent on three separate occasions while his grandfather received medical attention, and he presided over the State Opening of Parliament in 2047.
