The inscription reads:
One night in dreaming came to me the spirit of the sphinx.
In his passing, he spoke unto me words of great wisdom.
"Thutmosis, here is your true destiny:
This land of Egypt is forever yours to rule.
In return, protect me always from the sands of time.
As you are, I must be free from head to toe.
So that we both may see the divine beauty of creation."
