On April 8th, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt announced the discovery of “The Rise of Aten,” a city in Luxor buried under layers of sand for 3,000 years, dating back to the reign of Amenhotep III. This city, used during the reigns of Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, and King Ay, was revealed through mudbrick walls and everyday life objects. Important finds include hieroglyphic inscriptions on wine vessel caps, rings, scarabs, colored pottery vessels, and mud bricks with seals of Amenhotep III. In just seven months of excavations, several neighborhoods have been uncovered, including a bakery with ovens and storage pottery, and an administrative district with larger units and a rare zigzag wall. A workshop for mudbrick production was also discovered, featuring the cartouche of King Amenhotep III (Neb Maat Ra). The city’s streets are lined with houses, some walls reaching up to three meters in height, extending westward to Deir el-Medina. #RiseOfAten #LostGoldenCity #CityDiscoveredLuxor
