The Amarna Project with Models of this Lost ‘City of the Sun’, many fabulous photos of the fabled Akhetaten, the City of the Horizon of Aten, founded by the notorious Pharaoh Akhenaten, and the city where we first find Prince Tutankhaten in the historical novel: Sun Child, Prince of Egypt.
Some photo excerpts from their site show the approach to Amarna from the Nile. Click on the thumbnails for popup Lightbox.

Along with the project reports are interactive maps, models, and many photos of sites, findings, and ancient artifacts found there. There’s even a guide on how to get there, location about 200 miles south of Cairo, what to expect, and how to tour the sites.

This is a great website to research the actual archaeologists’ reports from the Amarna Project and their explorations of this ancient Lost City.

—>Amarna Project: One of the projects of The McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research in the University of Cambridge,
—>The MacDonald Institute provides support for many branches of archaeology and has a several of the project reports online, including two in India and Turkey.

I highly recommend both sites.
