Shipwrecks & Lost Worlds · 0:38
Uncovered on the western bank of the Nile near Luxor, the ancient Egyptian city known as The Dazzling Aten remained remarkably intact for more than three thousand years. Named in honor of the sun god Aten, the site was uncovered during excavations that began in late 2020 within the Theban Necropolis. Due to its extraordinary level of architectural preservation, researchers have compared the find to Pompeii, establishing it as the largest known city of its kind from ancient Egypt.
