Saturday 21 March 2026 1400 UK Time:

Judith Bunbury: 'Ancient Landscapes, Climate Change & The Tomb of Tuthmose II.'  

 

 

 

Outline: Recent work by the New Kingdom Research Foundation in the Western Wadis of the Theban Mountain in Luxor have led to the discovery of the tomb of Tuthmosis II. The find was unexpected and, when excavated revealed that the tomb had be vacated following a flood, not long after the king had been interred. Since other grave goods from this king are unknown, the team expects that, after his rescue, the king was reburied. Investigations to discover the location of there-burial are ongoing. This talk will outline the early discoveries of the team and update on progress in the recent 2025-26 season.
 
Biography: Judith Bunbury is Senior Tutor of Wolfson College Cambridge and a member of the New Kingdom Research Foundation. With a background in geology, she has specialised in the geo-archaeology of ancient environments with projects in Egypt, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates. 

 

 

The waiting room will open about 13.45 for a 14.00 start UK time.
