British archaeologist Piers Litherland has identified the location of a second tomb belonging to Thutmose II .

He suspects this one, he suspects, will contain the young pharaoh’s mummified body and grave goods.

Both tombs were constructed by the 18th dynasty architect Ineni , who wrote that he had “excavated the high tomb of Majesty , no one seeing”.

By covering the tomb with layers of plaster and limestone flakes, Ineni protected it from water while simultaneously sealing and concealing the site from robbers.

Some Egyptologists believe he reigned for just three to four years and died shortly after fathering Thutmose III .

The body of a 30-year-old , found in 1881 in Deir el-Bahari , is too old to belong to the pharaoh, Litherland said.
