A joint Sino-Egyptian archaeological team has made significant new discoveries at the Temple of Montu within the sprawling Karnak Temple Complex in Luxor, Egypt. Their six-year effort has brought to light new insights into the ancient site.

• Several new chapels and a human settlement site have been excavated.
• A huge mud-brick enclosure wall bearing the stamp of Amenhotep III confirms the temple's construction around the 14th century BC.
• A unique underground facility, possibly a water source for purifying offerings, was discovered earlier this year by the Sino-Egyptian joint mission.
