Egypt has uncovered a pharaoh's tomb for the first time in over a century.

In Egypt, near the city of Luxor, a joint Egyptian-British mission has identified the ancient tomb of Pharaoh Thutmose II. This marks the first discovery of a pharaoh's tomb in over 100 years.

This was announced by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, as reported by RBC-Ukraine citing Reuters.

According to the ministry, the tomb of Thutmose II, located west of the Valley of the Kings, was the last lost tomb of the kings of the 18th dynasty of Egypt and the first royal tomb discovered after the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922.

"Archaeologists were able to identify the tomb thanks to alabaster vessels found on site, which bore the names of Pharaoh Thutmose II and his wife, Queen Hatshepsut, one of the few women who ruled Egypt," writes Reuters.

Additionally, the statement mentions that archaeologists discovered pieces of his funerary furniture, as well as fragments of plaster with blue inscriptions, yellow stars, and religious texts.

However, due to flooding shortly after the king's death, the tomb has not been well preserved. There are signs that much of its contents were moved, and efforts are currently underway to recover them.

Recently, we reported that in the heart of Egypt, along the banks of the Nile, lies the Aswan Dam. This grand structure has become a symbol of engineering progress and cooperation between nations. However, it has a complex history that has changed the lives of millions of Egyptians and turned the descendants of pharaohs into poverty.
