He added that during the excavations and archaeological investigation of the tunnel, part of the tunnel was discovered submerged under the water of the Mediterranean Sea. A number of ceramic vessels were found under the mud deposit, as well as a rectangular block of limestone. Many archaeological evidences prove that this is part of the foundations of Tabuzi ris Magna Temple, which is submerged under water.

According to scientific sources, at least 23 earthquakes struck the Egyptian coast between 320 AD. and 1303 AD, leading to the collapse of part of the Tabuzi Temple and drowning it under the waves.

It is noteworthy that the expedition, during the previous excavation periods, was able to find many important artifacts within the Temple, including coins bearing the images and names of both Queen Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, and a series of decapitated tues, and statues of goddess Isis.

Also discovered were a network of tunnels that stretched from Lake King Marriott to the Mediterranean, 16 burials within rock-cut tombs commonly used in the Greek and Roman centuries, and a number of mummies that highlight features of the mound ent process during the Greek and Roman period.
