The tomb of Thutmose II, a pharaoh who was married to Queen Hatshepsut and ruled Egypt about 3,500 years ago, has been discovered west of the Valley of the Kings.

It is the first discovery of a pharaoh’s tomb since King Tutankhamun’s tomb was unearthed in 1922, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in a translated statement.
