Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 3,400-year-old lost city near Luxor, believed to be the largest ancient settlement ever uncovered in the nation.
“Many foreign missions searched for this city and never found it,” Zahi Hawass, who led the team that made the discovery, wrote in a news release on his Facebook page. He added that the city was “untouched” and “left by the ancient residents as if it were yesterday.”
The archaeologists also found a seal calling the city “the domain of the dazzling Aten,” but Hawass has nicknamed it “the Lost Golden City.”
