The site, once a booming gold mining city called Aten , was discovered beneath the Valley of Kings in Luxor .

Remains of homes, workshops, administrative buildings, religious temples and bath houses were found this week .

Artifacts recovered from the site were dated to later historical periods, including the Roman era ( 30 BC to 639 CE ) and the Islamic era ( 642 CE to 1517 AD ) This suggests Aten remained active for centuries and produced gold for multiple Egyptian dynasties that decorated their palaces and tombs.
