Archaeologists may have found second Thutmose II tomb
A British archaeologist believes his team may have found a second grave in Egypt, which belongs to Thutmose II.
The potential discovery came a few days after Dr. Piers Litherland Announced this discovery Revealed from the first tomb of the first pharaoh in Tutankhamun’s.
Dr. Litherland Tell the observer He suspected that the second site would possess the Pharaoh’s mummy body.
Archaeologists believe that the first tomb was emptied six years after it was buried and moved to a second due to the flood.
Dr. Litland believes that the second grave is located under 23 meters (75 feet) of artificial limestone, ash, rubble and mud paste, designed by the ancient Egyptians and looks like part of the western valley of Theban. Cemetery near the city.
The first one is behind the waterfall and is therefore considered flooding.
While Egyptologists were searching for the initial grave, they found an inscription after death that indicated that the content could have been moved to a second nearby location by Thutmose II’s wife and half-sister Hatsheput.
After trying to get into the tunnel, the British Egyptian team is now working to uncover the grave, deemed “too dangerous”.
“We should be able to get the whole thing down in about a month,” Dr. Litherland said.
The crew found the first grave at a resting place with the royal women, but when they entered the funeral room they found it decorated – the Pharaoh’s logo.
“A part of the ceiling is still intact: there are yellow stars on the blue ceiling. Only blue ceilings with yellow stars were found in the King’s tomb.”
He told BBC’s new shark program Earlier this week, he felt found overwhelmed.
“The emotion into these things is just an extremely confusing one because when you come across something you didn’t think of it, it’s really turbulent.”
Thutmose II is known for being the husband of Queen Hatshepsut, who is considered one of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs and one of the few female judges who ruled with his own rights.
Thutmose II was the ancestor of Tutanhan and was believed to have ruled around 1493-1479 BC. Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologists.
