Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Archaeologists discover 3,000-year-old Egyptian city, left ‘as if it were yesterday’

Recently, archaeologists discovered an ancient Egyptian city on the western bank of Luxor, the great capital of Upper Egypt during the New Kingdom. The lost city is presumed to have flourished 14^th century BCE when the ninth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty King Amenhotep III ruled the most prosperous time of the kingdom. What is remarkable about this city, which is named “The Rise of Aten,” is that it is in such good shape that it looks like having been buried only recently. You can see not only the walls and streets of the city but also the tools and things used by the ancient residents. It is in fact regarded as the second most important archeological discovery since the tomb of Tutankhamun. Also found was a mysterious skeleton whose knees were wrapped by a rope. Mysterious, isn’t it?

Since the excavation work hasn’t completed yet, there is going to be a lot more to be found in this ancient city, and archeologists are going to be busy finding answers to arising questions. Another new challenge for archeologists!

Enjoy reading the article and see the photos of this newly unearthed ancient Egyptian city.
