The Prominent Egyptian Archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass gave a lecture on the recent archaeological discoveries, at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), in the presence of Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim, the supervisor of NMEC, and a group of public figures and artists.
Hawass said that they are now searching for Imhotep's tomb in Saqqara, and Queen Nefertiti in Luxor.
He also explained the details of the new archaeological discoveries in the Saqqara, next to the pyramid of King Teti, noting that the Egyptian mission found a 5-meter-long papyrus, a bronze "axe" belonging to an army soldier, as well as some toys, boats, wooden masks, a painting and the modern state coffins.
He talked about the lost golden city of Luxor, which dates back to the reign of King Amenhotep III, and continued to be ruled by Tutankhamun, 3,000 years ago.
The Archaeologist added that this city is the largest administrative and industrial settlement in the era of the Egyptian Empire on the western bank of Luxor.
On his part, Dr. Ghoneim said that the NMEC is pleased to host Dr. Hawass, who is considered a symbol and one of the international experts in the field of antiquities.
