Hawass pointed out that those allegations that revolve around the existence of the so-called lost city under the Sphinx statue, are not connected to reality with any connection, and have no scientific evidence at all.

He also revealed more details about the latest discovery in the Pyramids which is the discovery of a hidden tunnel in the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Hawass said, "We are now searching for the tomb of Imhotep in Saqqara, and the mission has already begun work in the region. We are also looking for Queen Nefertiti in Luxor, and we are working now in the tomb of King Ramses II."

Moreover, Hawass talked about the Lost Golden City in Luxor, noting that it dates back to the reign of King Amenhotep III, and it continued to be used by his ancestor King Tutankhamun 3000 years ago.

The maven Egyptologist also indicated that Lost Golden City in Luxor is the largest Egyptian ancient city ever, which was founded by one of the greatest rulers of Egypt, King Amenhotep III, on the western bank of the Nile.
