It lies by the river Nile, close to the Temple of Seti the First in Abydos, according to the (BBC). Experts said that the size of the 15 newly discovered graves indicates the high social standing of those buried.
It is believed the city was home to important officials and tomb builders and would have flourished during early-era ancient Egyptian times. Archaeologists have made a range of finds in the newly-discovered city including buildings, shards of pottery and tools made of metal and stone.
