Discovery Of The Lost City of Aten I

Aten, properly called The Dazzling Aten[a] though dubbed initially by archaeologists the Rise of Aten,[1][b] is the remains of an ancient Egyptian city on the west bank of the Nile[2] in the Theban Necropolis near Luxor. Named after Egyptian sun god Aten, the city appears to have remained relatively intact for over three millennia. Since excavation began in late 2020, it is emerging as the largest city of its kind in ancient Egypt, with a remarkable degree of preservation, leading to comparisons with Pompeii

The city's foundation is dated to the period of Amenhotep III, some 3,400 years ago (1386–1353 BCE).[4] A number of inscriptions enabled archaeologists to establish precise dates for the city's history. One refers to 1337 BCE, coinciding with the reign of Akhenaten, who is thought to have shifted to his new capital at Akhetaten the following year.[1] Traces uncovered so far suggest that Aten subsequently fell under the rule of Tutankhaten, who changed his name to Tutankhamun after another Egyptian god, and thereafter was used by the penultimate ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty, Ay.[4] So far four distinct settlement layers attest to renewed habitation as late as the Coptic Byzantine era, from the 3rd to 7th centuries CE.[4]
