Egyptian officials announced the discovery of King Thutmose II's tomb, a groundbreaking find near Luxor, deemed the most significant since King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. The tomb, over 3,500 years old, housed unique artifacts, such as alabaster jars inscribed with the names of Thutmose II and his principal wife, Queen Hatshepsut, confirming the tomb's ownership. Initially thought to belong to a queen due to its location, the tomb's excavation revealed significant funerary items that had never before been found, shining light on ancient Egyptian burial practices.
Khaled noted that the approximately 3,500-year-old tomb is one of the most significant finds in Egypt in decades, marking a key archaeological discovery.
