Pharaoh: Archaeologists find second tomb

Earlier this week it was revealed that archaeologists had found the tomb of King Thutmose II in the Theban Necropolis in Egypt.

Now the team think they have found another tomb belonging to the ancient Egyptian king.

A British archaeologist believes a second site, which may hold the pharaoh's mummified body, has been discovered.

They think the first tomb, found behind a waterfall, was emptied six years after his burial and relocated due to a flood.

Archaeologists discovered the first tomb site just a few days ago

Dr Piers Litherland is the field director of the mission that discovered the tombs.

He believes that the second tomb lies below a 23 metre (75 ft) man-made pile of limestone, ash, rubble and mud plaster - designed to look like part of a mountain.

The British-Egyptian team are now working to uncover the tomb by hand, after attempts to tunnel into it were deemed as "too dangerous".

"We should be able to take the whole thing down in about another month," Dr Litherland said.
