Summary at a Glance

Archaeologists uncovered Thutmose II's mummified remains two centuries ago not far from his tomb, but the original burial site had never been found until now.

Unlike King Thutmose II's sparse tomb, King Tut's burial site was filled with around 5,000 items.

Fragments of vases inscribed with the Pharaoh's name were found in the tomb, identifying Thutmose II as the 'deceased king'.

The long-lost burial place of King Thutmose II was found close to a vast burial ground known as The Valley of the Kings in Luxor.

Sadly, the tomb was found in a poor state of preservation due to floods shortly after the king's death and it is thought that many of the original contents of the site may have been relocated.
