Archaeologists have discovered the tomb of King Thutmose II in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, marking the first royal tomb find since King Tutankhamun’s in 1922. The Egyptian-British team confirmed the tomb’s identity through inscriptions and artifacts, linking it to the 18th Dynasty ruler.
The tomb features a blue ceiling with yellow stars and religious scenes from the Amduat, a text exclusive to kings. Excavations revealed that it was deliberately emptied, possibly after being submerged by floods. The team believes another tomb, possibly holding treasures, may still be undiscovered.
