Archaeologists discover 3,000-year-old Egyptian city, left 'as if it were yesterday

"The Rise of Aten" was the 3,000 year old city that was found. It was discovered under the sand on the western bank of Luxor, by archeologist Zahi Hawass. It dates to the reign of King Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt between 1391 and 1353 BCE, according to the statement. There were even rings, pottery, pots, and tools found in some houses that were still left standing. There was even a bakery that was found with ovens inside of it. Lastly, there were some skeletons, and one had its arm stretched out and rope was wrapped around the knees, tombs found. 

    This discovery is the second most important since the tomb of Tutankhamun, said the lead archeologist. "The discovery of the Lost City not only will give us a rare glimpse into the life of the Ancient Egyptians at the time where the Empire was at his wealthiest but will help us shed light on one of history's greatest mystery: why did Akhenaten and Nefertiti decide to move to Amarna?" Bryan added. I think that this is really cool and can be interesting to anyone who likes Egyptians stuff or history.
