#ThutmoseII is perhaps best known for the events set into motion by his death around age 30. #Hatshepsut, his wife & half-sister, ruled after him — first as regent & then as one of the few female #pharaohs, her reign marked by prolific construction as well as artistic, architectural & economic advancement.

Inscriptions indicate that the tomb was the burial place of King Thutmose II, who is believed to have ruled for about half a decade some 3,500 years ago, per a stmnt from #Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities. Preliminary findings suggest his mummy, which had already been discovered, was moved along w/some of the tomb’s contents when it flooded shortly after his death.

The Border Telegraph appears to have missed an opportunity for a "Borders man finds pharaoh's tomb" headline.
