Egyptian artifacts found
in the sea, not the sand.
"Granite statues, jewelry and gold coins are some of the treasures underwater archaeologists have retrieved near the coast of Egypt.
"Like many of the black granite statues found by Goddio, this sphinx representing Ptolemy XII -- Cleopatra's father -- is remarkably well preserved. It was found in the eastern harbor of Alexandria and dates back to the first century B.C."
"Buried under mud are jewels and golden coins, temples and colossal statues rise from the seabed with bronze artefacts scattered throughout. The legendary city Herakleion has been rediscovered thanks to the French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio, who is still shocked about his discovery."
