A groundbreaking discovery has been made beneath the ancient ruins of Taposiris Magna on the Egyptian coast that may lead to an even more remarkable discovery. Archaeologists, led by Kathleen Martinez from the University of Santo Domingo, have unearthed an outstanding tunnel which is now known as the “geometric miracle.” This 2-meter/or 6.5-foot tall tunnel stretches 1,305 meters/or 4,281 feet through sandstone and has left experts in awe. Partly submerged, the purpose of the tunnel remains a mystery, adding to the intrigue of this find. 

Martinez, who has been exploring Taposiris since 2004 searching for Cleopatra VII’s lost tomb, believes this discovery may be a step in the right direction to finding it. The temple, founded around 280 BCE, contains clues with strong ties to Cleopatra. Clues, including coins and figurines, suggest connections to Cleopatra and Alexander The Great.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the tunnel, the ongoing excavations promise insight into some of history’s mysteries. The tunnel has already provided treasures, such as poetry fragments and a rectangular block of limestone hinting at the wealth of historical artifacts waiting to be discovered.
