Egyptian archaeologists have unearthed a 3000-year-old lost city, complete with mud-brick houses, artifacts, and tools from pharaonic times. Prominent archaeologist Zahi Hawass discovered this ancient city which was buried in the sands 3000 years ago. This city was buried in what was considered the golden era of ancient egypt which is also the period under king Amenhotep III of the 18th dynasty.

He said, "Many foreign archeologists searched for this city and they never could find it. The city was built on the western bank of the nile River which was the largest administrative and industrial settlement of the pharaonic empire. The archaeological layers have laid untouched for thousands of years, left by the ancient residents as if it were yesterday."
Initially, the archeologists started excavating this area to search the mortuary temple of king Tutankhamun. But within few weeks itself, archeologists found mud bricks formations that eventually turned out to be a well-preserved large city. Dr.Besty Brian who is a professor of Egyptology at john Hopkins university said the discovery of the lost city was the most important archaeological find since the tomb of Tutankhamun.
