Cairo – Lost tomb for a long time from Pharaoh Al -Masry The Ministry of Antiquities in the country was found on Tuesday and it answers a great mystery of one of ancient Egypt Most of the prosperous ages.
King Thutumus II of the eighteenth family, who was ruled during the fifteenth century BC, was a husband of one of the greatest branches of Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled in the afternoon career and expansion of trade methods.
He was also predetermined TotanthS, whose grave was discovered in 1922 and is still one of the most important Egyptian royal tombs that were ever found.
While Thutmose II mummy was found in the nineteenth century as part of a group of mummies, his grave was not, leaving a gap in what archaeologists knew about a king who ruled through one of the most prosperous eras of Egypt.
“It was a very rich period,” said British Egyptologist Chris Nonton, who did not participate in the excavations. But the secret of the Tammous tomb “was a blatant gap, and this gap has now been filled.”
The entrance and corridor of the grave, which is located in the west of the Valley of the Kings, was discovered directly for the first time in 2022. A team of British archaeologists and Egyptians later identified the grave, and it is believed that it was initially from a royal wife, as if he instead belongs to Pharaoh.

“The fact that the entire field that was found was previously found was previously linked to royal women, this new discovery is more interesting,” said archaeological professor Joan Fletcher of York University in Britain.
Egypt praised the disclosure of the long -term grave as one of the greatest discoveries in years.
“It is one of the most important discoveries in this century because it was one of the graves that we have not been able to locate since the discovery of King Tut,” Mohamed Ismail, Secretary -General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, told NBC News. In an interview.
In a statement, the country’s Ministry of Antiquities said that the artifacts in the grave, including some funerary furniture, “added an invaluable chapter to the history of the region and the era of this king.”

He said: “When you come across something you don’t expect to find it, this is very troubled.”
Lareland said that the grave, which was built under a waterfall, was deliberately emptied after the water was overwhelmed by a few years of burial.

He said: “Praise be to God, they have already violated something or two things, because this is the way we discovered her grave.”
The remains were moved to a second grave, who said, “It is possible that it will be sound.” He said that the second grave site was identified, and was buried less than 80 feet of rock plaster and limestone.
“It is very difficult to reach, but we think we know where they are,” he said. “This will only be the grave of the second king that can be found with all its major goods in place.”
