The city nicknamed The Rise of Aten was founded during the reign of Amenhotep III and disappeared 3,000 years ago.-Amenhotep III inherited a kingdom that stretched from the Euphrates River in modern Iraq and Syria to Sudan. He died around 1354 BC according to ancient historians.
He ruled for almost 40 years. His tenure was renowned for the opulence and grandeur of the building.
One of them is the Colossi of Memnon, two large stone statues near Luxor depicting Amenhotep III and his wife.
“It is not just us – we can see … economic activity, workshops and ovens,” said Mostafa Waziri, head of the Egyptian Council of Antiquities on Saturday.
Since the announcement of the discovery of Pharaoh’s golden city, some experts have denied the Hawass team was successful while others failed to find it.
Egyptian expert Tarek Farag on Friday (9/4/2021) posted on Facebook that the area was first excavated more than 100 years ago by a team from the New York Metropolitan Museum.
But Waziri dismissed the claim, saying that previous excavations were being carried out further south of the site.
