#Luxor #GoldenCity. Here what Robichon and Varille said about the #Village of #Amenhotep III: To the north-west of the temple of Thutmes II, brick walls with the cartouche of Amenophis III delimit rectangular spaces that must have served as workshops and storerooms. Inside these enclosures we found powdered granite and sandstone, painted jars, and stamped jar stoppers. Not far from there, the craftsmen lived in a district of hovels which seems surrounded by undulating walls.
