A new pharaoh's tomb has been found in Egypt for the first time in 100 years

Near Luxor province in the south of Egypt during excavations archaeologists have discovered the tomb of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose II. This was reported by Reuters on February 20.

"The joint Egyptian-British archaeological mission found the tomb of Thutmose II - the last lost tomb of the kings of the XVIII dynasty in Egypt," - stated in the material.

According to the publication, such a finding was the first discovery of the pharaoh's tomb for more than 100 years. The last time was in 1922, when archaeologists were able to find a royal tomb in Egypt.

It is noted that the archaeologists were able to identify the tomb thanks to the alabaster vessels found, on which were carved the names of King Thutmose II and his wife Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt.

It is specified that because of flooding the tomb was poorly preserved. At the moment the work on its extraction is underway.

January 8 in the province of Luxor in southern Egypt, in the area of the rock Deir-el-Bahri, archaeologists found part of the foundation of the temple of Hatshepsut and the tomb of the Middle Kingdom era (2050-1710 BC). They also found the foundation of the temple and artifacts in the form of ancient inscriptions, rock tombs and ceramic sacrificial tables and coins with Alexander the Great and burials of the XVII Dynasty.

It is known about Queen Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty that she died around 1458 BC and was the woman who ruled Egypt.
