An Egyptian archaeological mission announced the discovery of a 3000-year-old "Lost Gold City" (LGC) in the monument-rich city of Luxor.
Tutankhamun, who ascended the throne at the age of nine and died at 19, is the world's best-known pharaoh of ancient Egypt. The young king ruled from 1332 BC to 1323 BC, during a period known as the New Kingdom in ancient Egypt. He won his fame for his tomb, which was discovered by British Egyptologist Howard Carter in 1922 and has remained one of the best-preserved.
Egypt has earlier demanded the bust's auction to be stopped. The 28-cm high sculpture carries facial features of King Tutankhamun, one of the most famous Egyptian Pharaohs, who reigned between 1333 BC and 1323 BC. The auction had dismissed these concerns, saying the bust had previously been on public exhibition without objection.
