The British archaeologist and his team, which has long been discovered by the Egyptian tomb of Pharaoh, believes that they are about to find a second buried 23 meters under a man -made mountain.
Last week, Peres Lexland revealed that the THUTMOSE II tomb, the last king who was not discovered by the eighteenth family, was found in the western valleys of Sayyab Thaban.
This was the first time that archaeologists have discovered the final resting place for another Egyptian Pharaoh, since the discovery of Totchhamon in 1922.
However, Mr. Ligherland now revealed that they are trying to discover a second site that they believe carrying the body of Pharaoh and dangerous commodities.
Archaeologists believe that the first grave was emptied after six years of burial, due to the flood, and moved to a second.
Experts believe that this second grave was hiding in sight for 3500 years, and was buried secretly under 23 meters of limestone chips, kicks, ash and clay, and made to look like a part of the mountain.
“There is 23 meters of a pile of human-made layers sitting on a point in the scene where we believe-we have other evidence-there is a hidden memorial under it,” He said observer.
“The best candidate for what is hidden under this expensive, in terms of effort, the pile is the second grave of Thutmose II.”
He added: “You dream of such things. But like winning the lottery, you never believe that this will happen to you.”
When Egyptian scientists were looking for the first grave, they found an inscription after his death indicating that the contents may have been transferred to a second site near the wife of Pharaoh and the sister of the sister of Hacob.
Mr. Ligherland and his team believed that they are about a month after reaching the second grave, after he struggled to tunnel with it by hand.
He said: “We have tried to spend on it, we tried to shave the sides, but there are hanging rocks, so they are very dangerous.”
“We must be able to transfer everything in almost another month.”
When they found the first grave, which is located near a waterfall, archaeologists believed that they had found the grave of a royal wife. However, the wide stairs and the photographer’s burial indicated that it is likely to be the place of rest for the king.
The reign of Thutmose II is believed to date from 1493 to 1479 BC. He is famous for being the husband of Queen Hatshepsut, who is considered one of the greatest branches of Egypt and one of the few females who ruled in itself.
This discovery was discovered through a joint mission formed by the New Kingdom Research Foundation (NKRF), an independent British academic institution, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Egypt, a project of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at Cambridge University.
“This discovery solves a wonderful mystery from ancient Egypt: the site of the tombs of the kings in the early eighteenth family,” said Mr. Litherland, Leader and Field Manager.
“The grave of this grandfather was not found Tujhamoun because it was always believed to be at the other end of the mountain near the Valley of the Kings.
“At first we thought we had found the grave of a royal wife, but the wide stairs and the large entrance suggested something more important.
“The discovery that the burial room was decorated with scenes from AMDUAT, a religious text dedicated to kings, was very exciting and was the first indication that this was the tomb of the king.”
The pieces discovered in the grave, including fragments of alabaster jars that carry inscriptions by Thutmose II and his wife are the only artifacts associated with his burial at all.
