Feature: Egypt unveils discovery of 3000-year-old Lost Gold City in Luxor - World News

2021-04-08 14:56:05 GMT2021-04-08 22:56:05(Beijing Time) Xinhua English CAIRO, April 8 (Xinhua) An Egyptian archeological mission announced on Thursday the discovery of a 3000-year-old Lost Gold City (LGC) in Egypt s monument-rich city of Luxor. An Egyptian mission, headed by renowned Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass, in collaboration with Egypt s Supreme Council of Antiquities, found the city that was lost under the sand. The city was known as The Rise of Aten, dates back to the reign of Amenhotep III, and continued to be used by king Tutankhamun. Many foreign missions worked in this area in search for the mortuary temple of Tutankhamun because the temples of both Horemheb and Ay were found here, Hawass said in a statement, adding those missions failed to find the city.
