The so-called Golden City of the Aten (original name Tjehen-Aten 'Shining Aten'). One of the latest discoveries on the West Bank of Luxor. It seems to be a town associated with the palace of Malqata, the end of the reign of Amenhotep III and the beginning of the reign of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten). Anyway, more pics shortly as I actually got to explore it later in the day. :)
