The tomb of Thutmose II, a pharaoh who ruled Egypt about 3,500 years ago, has been discovered west of the Valley of the Kings. The discovery is the last of the lost tombs of the kings of ancient Egypt's 18th Dynasty,

The ministry of antiquities said the discovery of the tomb of Thutmose II, whose wife, Hatshepsut, took the throne after his death, was the first excavation of a royal tomb near the Valley of the Kings since 1922.

For the first time in over a century, a royal Egyptian tomb has been uncovered by archaeologists. The tomb was uncovered in 2022, but has only now been confirmed as the final resting place of King Thutmose II.
