Archeologists in Egypt say they have uncovered a 3,000-year-old city near the Valley of the Kings, a field of tombs for ancient royalty and their families. They say this is the most important finding in nearly 100 years, when King Tut's tomb was discovered. For VOA, Hamada Elrasam has photographs from Cairo with caption texts by Heather Murdock.
