"An Egyptian archaeological mission, led by famed archaeologist Zahi
Hawass, has unearthed the 3000-year-old �Golden City�, also called, The
Rise of Aten.
The ancient city was built during the reign of Amenhotep III, the ninth
king of the 18th Dynasty who ruled Egypt from 1391 to 1353 B.C. This
city was active during the great king�s co-regency with his son, the
famous Amenhotep IV/Akhenaton. It remained in use by following kings Tutankhamun and Ay."

"The excavation area is sandwiched between Rameses III�s temple at
Medinet Habu and Amenhotep III�s temple at Memnon. The Egyptian mission
started working in this area in search of Tutankhamun�s Mortuary Temple.
Tutankhamun�s successor, King Ay, built his temple on a site which was
later adjoined on its southern side by Rameses III�s temple at Medinet
Habu.
Egyptologists believe Ay�s temple may formerly have belonged to
Tutankhamun as two colossal statues of the young king were found there.
The northern part of the temple is still under the sands."

"One of the most recent finds of a vessel containing 2 gallons of dried
or boiled meat (about 10 kg), has a valuable inscription: Year 37,
dressed meat for the third Heb Sed festival from the slaughterhouse of
the stockyard of Kha made by the butcher luwy.
This valuable information, not only gives us the names of two people
that lived and worked in the city but confirmed that the city was active
and the time of King Amenhotep III�s co-regency with his son Akhenaten."
