An alabaster vase inscribed with the name of Thutmose IV had been encountered part way up the valley in 1902, leading Carter to suspect he was close to the tomb. By January 1903, investigations reached the base of a sheer cliff; here the bedrock rises to form a natural platform which was leveled to take the tomb cutting.
The Tomb of Thutmose is a small, decorated rock-cut tomb in Saqqara in Egypt that dates to the time shortly after the Amarna Period (about 1350–1330 BC). [1] The tomb is of special importance as one of the tomb owners was the sculptor Thutmose , often presumed to be the person who made the famous Nefertiti Bust .
Bradbury’s theory argues that the Tombos stela was a northern boundary marker for Thutmose’s expansion into Nubia and a description of his middle-east campaign. She argues that his Egyptian empire in Nubia stretched from the marker at Tombos, around the 3rd cataract, south towards Hagar el-Merwa around the 4th cataract.
The particular naval base of Peru-nefer was one of the bases established in the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Egypt.

Thutmose IV completed the eastern obelisk at the Temple of Karnak started by Thutmose III, which, at 32 m (105 ft), was the tallest obelisk ever erected in Egypt.

Thutmose is mentioned in vizier Prehotep II's tomb in Sedment, which may indicate that their tenures as viziers may have overlapped or followed one another. Tuthmose is also known from an ostracon found in the Valley of the Kings in Thebes.
Second, Thutmose's first-born son with Ahmose, Amenmose, was apparently born long before Thutmose's coronation. He can be seen on a stela from Thutmose's fourth regnal year hunting near Memphis, and he became the "great army-commander of his father" sometime before his death, which was no later than Thutmose's own death in his 12th regnal year.

The tomb is located under the cliffs on the eastern side of the Valley of the Kings, between the tombs of Thutmose IV and Hatshepsut . [ 1 ] The simple layout consists of a single corridor; quarrying had barely progressed into the second corridor when work stopped. [ 2 ]
