"The Rise of Aten" was recently discovered in Luxor, on the western bank. This city dates back to the reign of King Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt between 1391 and 1353 BCE. There are currently houses still standing up to ten feet high, and rooms filled with 'tools of daily life' archaeologists stated. They also discovered rings, pottery, casting molds, and various tools. Some remains were found as well- a skeleton of a person with arms stretched to the side, and a rope wrapped around their knees. The excavation initially began in September 2020, and is still continuing on. A large cemetery and tombs have been spotted, but not touched and documented yet.
