    "An Egyptian archaeological mission, led by famed archaeologist Zahi
    Hawass, has unearthed the 3000-year-old ³Golden City², also called, The
    Rise of Aten.

    The ancient city was built during the reign of Amenhotep III, the ninth
    king of the 18th Dynasty who ruled Egypt from 1391 to 1353 B.C. This
    city was active during the great kingıs co-regency with his son, the
    famous Amenhotep IV/Akhenaton. It remained in use by following kings Tutankhamun and Ay."
    [...]
    "The excavation area is sandwiched between Rameses IIIıs temple at
    Medinet Habu and Amenhotep IIIıs temple at Memnon. The Egyptian mission
    started working in this area in search of Tutankhamunıs Mortuary Temple.

    Tutankhamunıs successor, King Ay, built his temple on a site which was
    later adjoined on its southern side by Rameses IIIıs temple at Medinet
    Habu.

    Egyptologists believe Ayıs temple may formerly have belonged to
    Tutankhamun as two colossal statues of the young king were found there.
    The northern part of the temple is still under the sands."
    [...]
    "One of the most recent finds of a vessel containing 2 gallons of dried
    or boiled meat (about 10 kg), has a valuable inscription: Year 37,
    dressed meat for the third Heb Sed festival from the slaughterhouse of
    the stockyard of Kha made by the butcher luwy.

    This valuable information, not only gives us the names of two people
    that lived and worked in the city but confirmed that the city was active
    and the time of King Amenhotep IIIıs co-regency with his son Akhenaten."

    Clearly this was a city occupied by the followers of Akhenaton with
    their one jealous God Re.
    After the death of Akhenaton these followers were booted out of Egypt,
    into the Eastern desert under the leadership of the warlord Moses. And
    that city was then abandoned.
    Perhaps some artifacts will be discovered soon supporting this.
