Archaeologists discovered a cache of treasure inside a sunken underwater temple and sanctuary in Egypt.
While exploring a canal off the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, underwater archaeologists discovered a sunken temple and a sanctuary brimming with ancient treasures linked to the god Amun and the goddess Aphrodite, respectively.
The now-derelict building was once part of the ancient port city of Thonis-Heracleion in the Bay of Aboukir . The former city, now underwater and about 4.3 miles from Egypt's modern-day coast, was destroyed when a major earthquake and tidal waves caused the land to liquefy and sink into the Nile delta.
