Archaeologists have uncovered an ancient Egyptian town dating back 3,400 years, likely established during the reign of Akhenaten, the father of Tutankhamun, and expanded centuries later by Ramses II. The settlement, located near Lake Mariout, reveals unprecedented clues about life during the New Kingdom period and includes connections to Tutankhamun's family. The discovery of a stamp bearing the name of Meritaten, daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, suggests the presence of a royal estate involved in wine production. The settlement's strategic location near Lake Mariout provided access to coastal and desert regions.
