Excavation of Cleopatra's property under the ocean

The new international team discovered invaluable artifacts decorating underwater palaces and temples, belonging to the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, outside Alexandria.

Divers are carefully excavating one of the richest underwater archaeological sites in the world. Partial information about the wealth of the last dynasty under the reign of ancient Egypt before being invaded by the Roman Empire in 30 BC began to reveal.

Using advanced technology, the team excavated the sediment beneath the Royal Quarters area beneath the port of Alexandria. The basis for them to calculate exactly where the excavation was the description of the city of Greek geographers and history 2,000 years ago.

Earlier, in the early 1990s, archaeologists conducted a regional survey using topographic topography technology, paving the way for the following archaeological groups to operate.

They discovered everything: from coins to everyday objects, giant granite statues of Egyptian kings or god temples.

Mr. Goddio, who spent two decades searching for shipwrecks or lost cities on the seabed, commented: 'This is really the only place in the world. Everything is almost as intact as before sinking to the seabed. '

Items discovered will be on display at Franklin Academy in Philadelphia, titled: "Cleopatra: the study for the last queen of Egypt".

Here are pictures of sunken wrecked objects discovered:

Quacitite stone carved Pharaoh Seti I, father of Ramses II.
