Archaeologists have made a remarkable discovery underneath a temple in the ancient city of Taposiris Magna. A vast tunnel, described as a 'geometric miracle,' was unearthed 13 meters below the ground during an excavation led by a team from the University of Santo Domingo. The tunnel, measuring 2 meters in height and stretching an impressive 1,305 meters through sandstone, has left experts in awe.
Similar in design to the Tunnel of Eupalinos on the Greek island of Samos, the purpose of the Taposiris Magna tunnel remains a mystery. Some parts of the tunnel are submerged in water, adding to the intrigue of its function. The lead archaeologist, who has been searching for the lost tomb of Cleopatra VII in Taposiris Magna since 2004, sees the tunnel as a promising clue in their quest.
