The tomb of Thutmose II, who ruled about 3,500 years ago, was discovered by an Egyptian-British team near the Valley of the Kings.

This is the first time archaeologists found a royal tomb since the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.

An Egyptian-British archaeological mission has found the tomb of King Thutmose II, who ruled ancient Egypt about 3,500 years ago, Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said Tuesday. It was the final undiscovered royal tomb of Egypt's 18th dynasty and the first burial chamber of a pharaoh unearthed since Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922.
