Fox News
Egypt’s best-known archaeologist on Saturday revealed further details on a Pharaonic city recently found in the southern province of Luxor.
"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. Archeologists started excavating in the area last year, searching for the mortuary temple of boy King Tutankhamun. However, within weeks they found mud brick formations that eventually turned out to be a well-preserved large city.More Related News
