Archaeologists Discover First Pharaoh’s Tomb in Egypt in More Than a Century
King Tutankhamon is famous for many things, but what most know about the discovery of his unlooted tomb is that it was the last time archaeologists found the tomb of a pharaoh.
Now, 103 years since Howard Carter cracked open King Tut’s final resting place, the tomb of Thutmose II has been identified near the Valley of the Kings and becomes the first opportunity in two generations to study a pharaoh’s burial chamber.

I would like to add something. This tomb was not the only one discovered in a century, and in 1940 the tomb of Psusennes I was discovered and it was much better preserved than the one found today. Another point is that this tomb found now was empty, but it indicates that it was used and the mummy was moved during the dynasty of that pharaoh.
