Tutemés II

Tutemés II was a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt, who ruled from approximately 1493 to 1479 BC. He is known for his military achievements and for continuing the expansion of Egypt's empire, particularly into Nubia and the Levant. As the husband of Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's few female pharaohs, Tutemés II's reign is often viewed within the context of their unique partnership. His tomb, recently discovered by a team of British and Egyptian archaeologists in the Valley of the Kings, marks a significant archaeological milestone, being the first royal tomb found in over a century since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.
