Key details meant scientists knew it was the Tomb of Thutmose II when his body had already been removed hundreds of years ago.

For the first time in over a century, a royal Egyptian tomb has been uncovered by archaeologists. The tomb was uncovered in 2022, but has only now been confirmed as the final resting place of King Thutmose II.

A royal tomb belonging to an ancient Egyptian king has been unearthed, in what has been called a “remarkable” discovery by officials.

The ministry of antiquities said the discovery of the tomb of Thutmose II, whose wife, Hatshepsut, took the throne after his death, was the first excavation of a royal tomb near the Valley of the Kings since 1922.

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.

Egypt announced that an ancient tomb was recently discovered, marking the first such royal tomb uncovered in over 100 years, said its Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

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

A Egyptian-British archeological team discovered the first royal tomb in more than 100 years, since the discovery of the famed King Tutankhamun’s tomb. The entrance and main corridor to the tomb was first discovered in October of 2022, and archeologists first thought it might be a tomb of a pharaoh’s wife.

The historically important reveal is said to mark the end of a search for the lost tombs of the kings of ancient Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty — which ran from approximately 1550 BC to 1292 BC. The finding comes more than one hundred years after King Tut’s remains were discovered in 1922, CBS News reported.

For the first time in more than a century, a new royal Egyptian tomb has been discovered. Egyptian officials announced the discovery of King Thutmose II's tomb on Tuesday.
