The nearly 3,500-year-old tomb belonged to King Thutmose II, who reigned from 1493 to 1479 BC A British-Egyptian team of archeologists has discovered the first pharaoh's tomb since King Tutankhamun's was found more than 100 years ago in 1922.

Archaeologists in Egypt have found the tomb of King Thutmose II — the first discovery of an ancient royal tomb since King Tutankhamun's in 1922.

The historically important reveal is said to mark the end of a search for the lost tombs of the kings of ancient Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty — which ran from approximately 1550 BC to 1292 BC. The finding comes more than one hundred years after King Tut’s remains were discovered in 1922, CBS News reported.
