The Guardian newspaper reported on the discovery of the 3,000 year-old Lost Golden City in Luxor, describing it as the largest discovered in Egypt and the most important archaeological discoveries since the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Betsy Bryan, a professor of Egyptology at Johns Hopkins University, called the discovery of the city the most important archaeological discovery after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. The Guardian said that Amenhotep III inherited an empire stretching from the Euphrates to Sudan, according to what archaeologists say. The British Daily Mail also commented on the important archaeological discovery, adding that the ancient Pharaonic city is the largest ancient city to be discovered in Egypt, having complete suburbs and a security system. Amenhotep III, who was known for his interest in antiquities, died in 1354 BC, after he ruled for nearly four decades.
