GB News: Archaeologists reveal clues which led them to discover 3,500-year-old tomb of ancient pharaoh
British Egyptologists have discovered the 3,500-year-old tomb of King Thutmose II, located 1.5 miles west of the Valley of the Kings. Led by Professor Piers Litherland, the team found a rocky staircase leading to a burial chamber adorned with a blue-painted ceiling and scenes from the Amduat.
