Archaeologists have found the last undiscovered royal tomb of the 18th Egyptian dynasty, which included the famous pharoah Tutankhamun.
The uncovering of King Thutmose II's tomb marks the first time a pharoah's tomb has been found by a British-led excavation since Tutankhamun's was found over a century ago.
The 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.

I was amazed when I went down inside the Pyramids in 83 after we came out of the red sea flying with the Saudis. then went to the Egyptian museum before we went down the Nile for a boat ride
man they were all short people and more surprised at the actual size of the Sphinx
