Ancient Submerged Port, Cleopatra's Tomb Sought
Tap title to read story
Archaeologists have discovered evidence of a submerged ancient port near Taposiris Magna Temple in Egypt, dating back to the Ptolemaic period. The discovery, made using sonar technology, includes a harbor, tunnel, and artifacts. This expands knowledge of the temple complex and its maritime role. The discovery is significant as no ancient texts mention this port. The team, led by Dr. Kathleen Martinez, believes this port is connected to their ongoing search for Cleopatra's tomb at the temple site, a theory that has generated debate among other archaeologists.
