A 3,400-year-old city was uncovered near Luxor, Egypt this year, complete with mud-brick walls and rooms still filled with the remnants of daily life there. A large bakery, a cemetery with rock-cut tombs, and manufacturing workshops have also been found, and excavations at the site are sure to reveal much more.
