It&#8217;s the first royal Egyptian tomb to be discovered since King Tutankhamun&#8217;s final resting place was found in 1922.<\/p>\n<p>A joint Egyptian-British archaeological mission discovered Thutmose II&#8217;s tomb in the mount of Thebes area, west of Luxor and the renowned Valley of the Kings. The team and the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, which made the announcement, said evidence was discovered that clearly indicates it was King Thutmose II&#8217;s tomb during excavations of what had previously been known only as tomb No. C4. <\/p>\n<p>The entrance and main passage into the structure were discovered in 2022, and internal excavations have continued meticulously since then.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of Egypt&#8217;s Supreme Council of Antiquities, said when the mission first found the entrance to the tomb and its main passage almost three years ago, the team believed it could belong to one of the wives of the kings, given its proximity to the tomb of the wives of King Thutmose III and its proximity to the tomb of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/new-discovery-tells-us-more-about-egypts-first-female-pharaoh\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Queen Hatshepsut<\/a><\/span>, which was prepared for her as a royal wife before she became ruler of the ancient kingdom.

the tomb with remnants of blue inscriptions and yellow stars, and some paragraphs from the book of &#8220;Imydwat,&#8221; which is one of the most important funerary books found in ancient Egyptian
