Archaeologists uncover ancient tunnel beneath Taposiris Magna temple ruins

Archaeologists discover 'miracle' in ancient Egyptian tomb

In the ancient ruined city of Taposiris Magna, a remarkable archaeological discovery has left experts in awe. Hidden beneath a temple, researchers have uncovered a vast tunnel that has been described as a 'geometric miracle.' This incredible structure was found by Kathleen Martinez and her team from the University of Santo Domingo during an ongoing excavation of the temple.

Situated 13 meters below the ground, this 2-meter tall tunnel has been meticulously carved through an astounding 1,305 meters of sandstone. The design of the tunnel bears resemblance to the Tunnel of Eupalinos—a 6th-century BC aqueduct on the Greek island of Samos, renowned for its engineering marvels. This finding further emphasizes the grandeur and brilliance of the Taposiris Magna tunnel.
