    'Lost golden city' found in Egypt reveals lives of ancient pharaohs

    Zahi Hawass is back with a big announcement! Zahi is a great advocate for Egyptian history.



    'Lost golden city' found in Egypt reveals lives of ancient pharaohs

    Famed Egyptologist Zahi Hawass announced the discovery of the "lost golden city" near Luxor on Thursday.

    He said the find was the largest ancient city, known as Aten, ever uncovered in Egypt.




    It was unearthed within weeks of the excavation starting in September 2020.




    The city dates to the reign of Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs, who ruled from 1391 to 1353 BC.




    The city continued to be used by pharaohs Ay and Tutankhamun, whose nearly intact tomb was discovered in the Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.

    "The discovery of this lost city is the second most important archaeological discovery since the tomb of Tutankhamun," Betsy Brian, professor of Egyptology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, US, said.




    She said the city would "give us a rare glimpse into the life of the ancient Egyptians" at the time when the empire was at its wealthiest.
