A British archaeologist believes his team may have found a second tomb in Egypt belonging to King Thutmose II. The potential find comes just days after Piers Litherland announced the discovery of a tomb more than a century since Tutankhamun's was revealed.

The ministry of antiquities said the discovery of the tomb of Thutmose II, whose wife, Hatshepsut, took the throne after his death, was the first excavation of a royal tomb near the Valley of the Kings since 1922.
