Archeology Magazine gave a nod to the discovery of King Thutmose II’s tomb in its list of the Top 10 Discoveries of 2025, diving into the details of the discovery — made in February. The tomb, discovered in the Western Wadis of the Theban Necropolis in Luxor by an Egyptian-British team, was first believed it to be a royal woman’s tomb, but was later confirmed to be the pharaoh’s tomb due to evidence from dedications from Hatshepsut, Thuthmose II’s wife. The discovery marks the first discovery of a royal tomb of an 18th Dynasty pharaoh, since Tutankhamoun.
