An empty tomb, yet a groundbreaking find – archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered the tomb of Thutmose II, a ruler overshadowed by his powerful wife, Hatshepsut.

But that doesn’t make the discovery of his final resting place any less important. On February 18, the Egyptian government announced that an international team of archeologists have finally confirmed the tomb’s location—making it the first and most significant royal find since the identification of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.
