The Lost Golden City in Luxor was granted the award for the most important archaeological discovery in the world.
In a massive celebration in the Italian city of Postum which is adjacent to Naples, Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, head of the Egyptian mission that discovered the golden city, received the first prize for the most important archaeological discovery in the world.
The celebration was organized by the Mediterranean Stock Exchange for Tourism and Antiquities.
This award is known for the late archaeologist Khaled Al-Asaad, who was killed by ISIS while defending the ancient city of Palmyra, one of the most important cities in Syria.
This year marks the eighth annual anniversary of this award, and the celebration was attended by many ambassadors of Arab countries, as well as Ahmed Ghoneim, director of the Museum of Civilization, and many representatives of the international press.
Hawass declared that this award is the most important in his life.
The Egyptologist is holding a seminar in which he explains the document in which he demands the return of the Rosetta Stone from the British Museum and the Zodiac from the Louvre Museum.
