( Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities )īetsy Bryan, a professor of Egyptology at John Hopkins University in the USA, who did not participate in the dig, but has seen the site firsthand, has even declared, “the discovery of this lost city is the second most important archeological discovery since the tomb of Tutankhamun. Seals found at the Lost Golden City confirm it was active during the reign of Amenhotep III.
Their search was effective and the Egyptian mission teams announced they have discovered “the largest city ever found in Egypt.” The city was founded by Pharaoh Amenhotep III (who reigned circa 1386/1391 - 1353 BC). We began our work searching for the mortuary temple of Tutankhamun because the temples of both Horemheb and Ay were found in this area.” Why is this Discovery So Important? According to Hawass, “Many foreign missions searched for this city and never found it. In the ancient past the city was an industrial and royal metropolis, however its exact location has been something of a mystery, until now. Now, an Egyptian mission led by Zahi Hawass has discovered the ruins of the so-called “Lost Golden City” that has been linked to such big names in ancient Egyptian history as Amenhotep III, Tutankhamun, Ay, and Akhenaton.Ī post by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities on the discovery says that the “Lost Golden City,” as it’s been dubbed, was the ancient Egyptian civilization’s “largest administrative and industrial settlement” on the western bank of Luxor (Thebes). With the help of archaeologists employing the very the latest scientific equipment, Graham now has what he is certain is the final proof that this disregarded Dark Age text really does reveal the last resting place of the man behind the legend of King Arthur.Thousands of years ago a fabulous settlement was buried under the sands. Not in the South West town of Glastonbury, as the popular myth maintains, but at an ancient site in the isolated countryside of central England.
An ancient manuscript still persevered at Oxford University, Graham believes, reveals the whereabouts of King Arthur’s long-lost tomb. And, most astonishing of all, Graham has found what he claims to be the location where Arthur was finally buried. He has discovered that the legendary Camelot, Excalibur and Avalon were based on a real city, a real sword and a real island. During a quest lasting over twenty-five years, he has followed a fascinating trail of historical clues showing Arthur to have been a living warrior who led the Britons around the year 500. Now, in The Lost Tomb of King Arthur, Graham Phillips presents compelling evidence that such legends were actually based on real events. The fabled Camelot, Sir Bedivere casting Excalibur into the lake and Arthur’s secret burial at the isle of Avalon: these are just a few of the enchanting themes in the ancient saga that historians have long considered to be pure fantasy. The story of King Arthur is known throughout the world.
