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

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

The tomb of Thutmose II, who ruled about 3,500 years ago, was discovered by an Egyptian-British team near the Valley of the Kings.

Egyptologists have discovered the first tomb of a pharaoh since Tutankhamun's was uncovered over a century ago. Until recently, King Thutmose II's tomb was the last undiscovered royal tomb of the 18th Egyptian dynasty.

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.

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.

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.

But that doesn’t make the discovery of his final resting place any less important. On February 18, the Egyptian government announced that an international team of archeologists have finally confirmed the tomb’s location—making it the first and most significant royal find since the identification of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.
