Egyptologist Piers Litherland has made a groundbreaking discovery in Luxor, revealing the locations of two tombs belonging to the ancient Egyptian ruler, Pharaoh Thutmose II, after ten years of research. This finding, which could potentially lead to the recovery of valuable artifacts, is particularly significant as it marks the first discovery of a pharaoh's tomb since Howard Carter found Tutankhamun's in 1922. The first tomb was found empty but hinted at the existence of a second, where Litherland believes the young pharaoh's body may be buried, possibly moved by his wife Hatshepsut to protect from grave robbers.
The best candidate for what is hidden underneath this enormously expensive, in terms of effort, pile is the second tomb of Thutmose II.
Litherland found evidence the contents may have been moved by the king's wife Hatshepsut to a second tomb, highlighting the royal intrigue of ancient Egypt.
