Tomb of Thutmose II

The Tomb of Thutmose II is a royal ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud area west of Luxor. The tomb, also known by its tomb number C-4, belonged to Thutmose II, a pharaoh of the 16th–15th centuries BC. The tomb lacks Thutmose's mummy, which may have been found in 1881 in the Royal Cache, where many royal coffins were moved in ancient times. There are, however, doubts about the identity of that mummy. Identified by a joint Egyptian–British archaeological expedition, the tomb was discovered during clearance work searching for foundation deposits. A softness in the surface, identified by Ashraf Omar Ali and Heraji Sayed Ahmed, led to the team, headed by Piers Litherland, uncovering the entrance to the tomb on 31st October, 2022. It discovery was announced in a preliminary report in the following year.
