Egyptologists have discovered the first tomb of a pharaoh since Tutankhamun's was uncovered over a century ago.

Until recently, King Thutmose II's tomb was the last undiscovered royal tomb of the 18th Egyptian dynasty.

But a British-Egyptian team located it in the Western Valleys of the Theban Necropolis near the city of Luxor. Researchers had thought the burial chambers of the 18th dynasty pharaohs were more than 2km away, closer to the Valley of the Kings.

The crew found it an area associated with the resting places of royal women, but when they got into the burial chamber they found it decorated - the sign of a pharaoh.
