Egypt continues to stun the world with its ancient treasures! The uncovered tomb of King Thutmose II, found last February on Luxor’s West Bank, has been named one of the Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries of 2025 by Archaeology magazine, one of the world’s leading publications in the field. This exciting recognition highlights the tomb’s global significance and Egypt’s unmatched role in uncovering ancient history.
A Rare Find from the 18th Dynasty
This is the first royal tomb from Egypt’s 18th Dynasty found since King Tutankhamun’s in 1922. Initially thought to belong to a royal woman, the tomb revealed stunning clues—starry ceilings, painted plaster, and fragments of the Book of Imyduat—that pointed to a pharaoh’s burial. The final confirmation came from alabaster jars inscribed by Hatshepsut, Thutmose II’s famous queen.
Why It Matters
The discovery adds a major chapter to New Kingdom history and gives researchers fresh insights into early royal tomb architecture. One of the tomb’s inscriptions even made the cover of Archaeology magazine’s January–February 2026 issue!
Egypt, Still the Greatest
This find proves once again that Egypt is the ultimate treasure trove of history, captivating the world with discoveries that continue to rewrite our understanding of the ancient world.
