A British archaeologist believes his team may have found a second tomb in Egypt belonging to King Thutmose II. The potential find comes just days after Piers Litherland announced the discovery of a tomb more than a century since Tutankhamun's was revealed.

Thutmose II was the fourth ruler of the illustrious ancient Egyptian 18th dynasty, which included Tutankhamun. Now, the location of his long-lost tomb, one of the last missing royal tombs, has been confirmed by the New Kingdom Research Foundation,

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.
