Archaeologists in Egypt have just uncovered the tomb of an ancient pharaoh for the first time since the discovery of King Tut's burial in 1922. Very near the 100th anniversary of that historic find in 2022,

An Egyptian-British team has found the tomb of an ancient pharaoh near the Valley of the Kings. This discovery marks the first pharaoh’s tomb found since 1922, when King Tutankhamun’s tomb was uncovered, reported The Washington Post. The tomb belongs to King Thutmose II, who ruled nearly 3,500 years ago.

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.
