Artifacts found in this city are the only information about the warlord Labaya, who is potentially the biblical king Saul. A ruler living in this city was the addressee of numerous pleas from Rib-Hadda, who compared himself to a "bird in a trap."  The sculptor Bek constructed many of the buildings here, which is where the Coregency Stele was found, a piece of art that potentially suggests a woman may have ruled from this city. An art movement named for this city emphasizes elongated necks and large hips and is atypical within its kingdom's history because of its feminized sculptures. The court sculptor Thutmose had his studio here, and it was largely abandoned when the capital moved back to Thebes, abandoning this center of a new form of worship. For 10 points, name this city, the capital constructed by Akhenaten, which also names a set of letters describing New Kingdom diplomacy.
