Egypt has discovered the "Lost City of Gold", a metropolis more than 3,000 years ago, and a major archaeological discovery, the clay pots on the site are like "cabbage". Egyptian archaeologists (or more like peasants) began archaeology in their usual clothes.

Overall, after the pyramids and numerous temples, there were no more major archaeological discoveries in Egypt. The head of the Egyptian archaeological site said excitedly that this is the largest archaeological discovery in Egypt after the tomb of Tutankhamun. (Note: Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922)

According to the Associated Press and other Western media reports, in September 2020, Egyptian archaeologists discovered the ruins of an ancient city near Luxor (southern Egypt, upper Nile), and announced the results of archaeology in April 2021. In other words, it took five or six months to archaeologize an ancient city.

Archaeologists believe it is an ancient city with a history of more than 3,000 years. Many missionaries throughout history sought out the city. The city was a "metropolis" in ancient Egypt and was known as the "Lost City of Gold". In ancient Egypt it was a super metropolis.

From the photos and videos given by the media, it can be seen that there are several interesting points:

First, the metropolis doesn't look big, it's more like a village. In addition, the location of the city seems to be a very dry place. Near Luxor, near the banks of the Nile, there is still a narrow fertile farmland of several kilometers wide. An ancient metropolis should be a place where agriculture is developed.

Second, there are not many cultural relics unearthed, and they look relatively new. Several clay pots are brand new, some other clay pots have been broken, and archaeologists have already put together these broken clay pots on the site. And it's laid out under the sun.

Third, the quality of the excavated artifacts is worrying, and there are no glorious gold objects of ancient Egyptian artifacts, ancient Egyptian scripts that fall from the sky, and even no stone sculptures (which are most common in ancient Western archaeology). At present, there are two jade necklaces that are more precious, followed by some unknown pottery products, which are displayed on an ordinary wooden table, as if they are street vendors who have just come out of the stall, which is very unprofessional.

Fourth, the archaeologists at the scene were not professionally dressed, wearing traditional robes and gloves, holding wooden brushes and small shovels bought from hardware stores. It's not that the dress pants are like archaeologists, these ones do look like farmers nearby.

Fifth, in just a few months, Egyptian archaeologists have said that this is an ancient city more than 3,000 years ago, which is roughly equivalent to the Xia Dynasty. Anyway, he said it, the Western media widely reported it, this matter was characterized, and it was not questioned by people and experts at home and abroad in Egypt. The reaction below the relevant video is that Egyptian netizens say that this is a great discovery, Egypt's pride; Western netizens said that world civilization continues to make new discoveries.

This is all in the 21st century, and it feels like ancient Egyptian archaeology has gone backwards. It used to be all gold masks, six spoke wheels, three language Rosetta stone tablets; Now a few broken jars began to cheer. Westerners' appetite for archaeology is getting smaller and smaller, it is reasonable to say that a "lost city of gold", do not find a little gold, words, stone tablets, sculptures, high-tech production tools, epoch-making sewer system, ah, how good it is to match this name.
