" He abandoned the 'great city of Thebes, which the kings of his dynasty had done so much to enlarge and beautify, and he founded, on the site of the modern Tell el- Amarna, a new capital, which he called by his own new designation, Chu-en-Aten. But after his death, this town, which usurped for so brief a reign the place of Thebes, was soon abandoned in its turn, and in consequence of this sudden desertio...n it has left much clearer traces behind than greater cities which have fallen slowly into decay, or been razed to the ground by victorious besiegers.
