Lost golden city near Luxor

The rare discovery of the lost city of Luxor, the "Pompeii of Egypt"

The discovery of a three thousand-year-old city that was lost in the sands of Egypt has
been called one of the most important archaeological finds since the tomb of
Tutankhamun.

It is the largest city of antiquity that has been discovered in Egypt.

The city dates to the reign of Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs,
who ruled from one thousand three hundred ninety-oneto one thousand three hundred
and fifty three BC.

The three thousand four hundred-year-old city's terracotta walls, which we see
surrounded by a very distinctive zigzag wall, are about three meters high in some
places.

The city continued to be used by the pharaohs Ay and Tutankhamun, whose nearly
intact tomb was discovered in the Valley of the Kings.

Priceless artifacts were found in the excavation near the Valley of the Kings.

What they unearthed was the site of a large, well-preserved city, with nearly complete
walls and rooms filled with the tools of everyday life.

the city "could offer us an extraordinary glimpse into ancient Egyptian life" at a time
when the empire was at its most prosperous.
Triple archaeological find in the Yucatan peninsula, in Mexico.

The remains of an eighteenth-century Dutch warship have been discovered along with a
dozen cannons more than two meters long.

In addition, a 19th-century British steamboat that trafficked Mayan slaves and an old
lighthouse torn out by the strong winds of a tropical storm have been found. All this near
the port of Sisal.

These findings help us to better understand daily life on board in previous centuries,
and also become a refuge for marine species.
