The first royal tomb discovered in over a century is shedding new light on the pharaoh who ruled before Hatshepsut.

A new royal tomb has been discovered in Egypt for the first time in more than a hundred years. The tomb, some 2 kilometres from the Valley of the Kings, belongs to Pharaoh Tuthmosis II who ruled in the 15th century BC.

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.
