Egypt's best-known archaeologist on Saturday revealed further details on a Pharaonic city recently found in the southern province of Luxor. Zahi Hawass said archaeologists found brick houses, artifacts and tools from pharaonic times at the site of the 3,000-year-old lost city.
The city dates back to Amenhotep III of the 18th dynasty, whose reign is considered a golden era for ancient Egypt. "This is really a large city that was lost... The inscription that found inside here says that this city was called: 'The dazzling Aten'," Hawass told reporters at the site.More Related News
