CAIRO — Excavators are working hard in the ancient southern city of Luxor to trace the remaining part of the city's, and probably ancient Egypt's, most important route, namely the Grand Avenue of Sphinxes.
The almost 3,000-year-old road connects Karnak Temple with Luxor Temple, passing by the domain of Mut.
