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.
