paragraph_text: The Tomb of Thutmose II is a royal ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud area west of Luxor. The tomb, also known by its tomb number Wadi C-4, belonged to Thutmose II, a pharaoh of the 16th–15th centuries BC. The tomb lacks Thutmose's mummy, which was found in 1881 in the Royal Cache, where many royal sarcophagi were moved in ancient times.
  
  Identified through a joint Egyptian–British archaeological expedition, the tomb was discovered by Ashraf Omar in 2022, which was announced in a preliminary report in the following year.
