Tomb of Pharaoh Thutmosis II discovered in Egypt

Thutmosis II ruled ancient Egypt around 3 500 years ago, with a mummy discovered as early as 1881.

Archaeologists discovered the tomb of Thutmosis II in the south of the country, near the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.

The Ministry of Antiquities described the discovery as “one of the most significant archaeological breakthroughs in recent years”, although no mummy was found in the tomb. The mummy of Thutmosis II was discovered as early as 1881 in the tombs of Deir el-Bahar on the west bank of the Nile opposite the city of Luxor.

However, objects belonging to Thutmosis II were found in the tomb, presumably placed there during the burial ceremony.

Preliminary studies indicate that the content of the tomb was removed in ancient times.

Thutmosis II was Pharaoh, who dominated the 18th of the Dynasty about 3,500 years ago.

Hatshepsut acted as a queen and later as the Pharaoh himself.

Hatshepsut’s grave temple is located on the western shore of the Nile in Luxor a few kilometers from where Thutmosis II’s tomb was found.
