Is Cleopatra's tomb UNDERWATER? Sunken port could lead to her grave
"They've found a sunken port in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, about two miles off the coast of Alexandria, the historic ancient city."
"The offshore port, flooded with water, was once connected to Taposiris Magna, a historic city containing an ancient temple dedicated to Osiris, god of death."
"The newly-found structure consists of columns, polished stone floors and scattered amphora, the tall jugs historically used for carrying wine - showing there was activity there."
"The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, which announced the news on Facebook, calls this potential evidence of 'ancient marine activity'."
Explorers located a submerged port about two miles off Alexandria at a depth of roughly 40 feet. The flooded port appears linked to Taposiris Magna, an ancient city with a temple dedicated to Osiris located about 30 miles from Alexandria. The submerged structure includes columns, polished stone floors and scattered amphora, indicating significant historical maritime activity. Kathleen Martínez and Bob Ballard conducted recent dives that identified the site. The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities described the findings as potential evidence of ancient marine activity. The site may provide crucial clues or lead directly to Cleopatra and Mark Antony’s long-lost tomb.
