After being lost for centuries, an 18th Dynasty tomb has been unearthed in the Valley of the Kings. A joint Egyptian-British archaeological team made this discovery on the west bank of Luxor city, Egypt.

Archaeologists in Egypt have found the tomb of King Thutmose II — the first discovery of an ancient royal tomb since King Tutankhamun's in 1922.

Discovered in 2022, the site is some 1.2 miles away from the Valley of the Kings, where tombs for Thutmose I and III and Hatshepsut were planned. Women of the royal family had been found there, so the initial theory was that this newly found tomb belonged to one of Thutmose’s lesser wives.
