A new search begins for Queen Cleopatra’s tomb beneath the Mediterranean sea
Roughly 200 kilometers from Cairo, a team of scientists and divers have embarked on a new attempt to search for one of the most important discoveries of the modern era – the lost tomb of Queen Cleopatra.
Scientists believe that her tomb may be located in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, off the coasts of Alexandria.
Al-Masry Al-Youm accompanied the expedition team on the first day of this exciting new phase of research.
A miraculous tunnel
The world came a step closer to finding the tomb in November, when the head of the expedition Kathleen Martinez announced the discovery of a 1,305 long tunnel, 13 meters below the surface of the earth at the Taposiris Magna site located west of Alexandria, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities’s official Facebook page.
