Egypt Unveils First Ancient Royal Tomb Since Tutankhamun’s Discovery

In a landmark archaeological discovery, Egypts antiquities authority has unveiled the tomb of King Thutmose II, marking the first royal burial found since Tutankhamuns in 1922. Located near Luxorâs Valley of the Kings, the tomb dates back approximately 3,500 years to the 18th dynasty. While initial studies suggest that the tombs original contents were relocated in antiquity, fragments of alabaster jars inscribed with Thutmose II name and parts of the ancient funerary text, the Book of Amduat, have been recovered. The joint Egyptian-British excavation team continues to explore the site, aiming to uncover more of its original artifacts.
