What the Lost Tomb of Thutmose II Really Proves

Описание: Egyptologist Piers Litherland and his team recently announced that tomb C4, which was first uncovered two years, ago has artifacts within it to conclusively attribute the tomb as belonging to pharaoh Thutmose II.

Thutmose II was long suspected of having an undiscovered tomb, and this new discovery fills in an important gap of history for 18th Dynasty Egypt.

But the tomb itself was not the final resting place for Thutmose II, as archaeological evidence indicates it had flooded a few years after interment of the king, and that his body must have been moved elsewhere.

Litherland claims that another tomb will hold the undisturbed burial of Thutmose II, and this video examines the evidence to determine if that may in fact be the case.
