An Egyptian-British team has found the tomb of an ancient pharaoh near the Valley of the Kings. This discovery marks the first pharaoh’s tomb found since 1922, when King Tutankhamun’s tomb was uncovered, reported The Washington Post. The tomb belongs to King Thutmose II, who ruled nearly 3,500 years ago.

The tomb of Thutmose II, who ruled about 3,500 years ago, was discovered by an Egyptian-British team near the Valley of the Kings.

But that doesn’t make the discovery of his final resting place any less important. On February 18, the Egyptian government announced that an international team of archeologists have finally confirmed the tomb’s location—making it the first and most significant royal find since the identification of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.

This is the first time archaeologists found a royal tomb since the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.

A Egyptian-British archeological team discovered the first royal tomb in more than 100 years, since the discovery of the famed King Tutankhamun’s tomb. The entrance and main corridor to the tomb was first discovered in October of 2022, and archeologists first thought it might be a tomb of a pharaoh’s wife.
