A lost city from Egypt's "Golden Age" was unearthed near Luxor, almost three millennia after it was built for King Tutankhamun's grandfather, the Antiquities Ministry said in a statement over the weekend. The city — dating back to the reign of Amenhotep III — was first uncovered in September 2020 by a team led by archaeologist Zahi Hawass, who said the discovery would tell us for the first time about the life of ancient Egyptians during the golden era. The discovery is being billed as the largest ancient city ever found in Egypt — and possibly the most important find after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
