3,000-year-old "Lost Golden City" discovered under sands of Luxor, Egypt
(Global News, April 9, 2021)
Archeologists walked a 3,000-year-old “Lost Golden City” discovered buried under the sands of Luxor, Egypt, in what experts say is the most significant find since the tomb of King Tut (Pharaoh Tutankhamun) was unearthed in 1922.
“What they unearthed was the site of a large city in a good condition of preservation, with almost complete walls, and with rooms filled with tools of daily life." Political appointee to the antiquities office Zahi "Indiana Jones" Hawass revealed the startling discovery on Thursday (April 8, 2021).
It was not immediately clear how much actual gold (if any) was present in the city, but photos show a labyrinth of streets and buildings built with ancient brick.
In other words, Hawass has been exaggerating for attention, again. It’s not the actual El Dorado of Egypt, but more of a metaphorical “golden city” of renown because, Hawass explains, it comes from Egypt's Golden Age.
