Famed Egyptologist Zahi Hawass announced the discovery of the "lost golden city" near Luxor on Thursday.
The discovery of the 3,000-year-old city, that had been buried in the sands of Egypt, is being called one of the most important archeological finds since the discovery of King Tut's tomb.
The city dates to the reign of Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs, who ruled from 1391 to 1353 BC.
