- Archaeologists discovered a hidden tunnel under Egypt’s Magna Temple that they think could lead to the long-lost tomb of Queen Cleopatra, Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced last week.
- The tunnel was discovered by a team of archaeologists from the University of Santo Domingo near the Temple of Tapozeris Magna, west of Alexandria, according to the ministry.
- The tunnel is located about 40 feet below ground, is 6.5 feet high, and runs for about 4,300 feet, said Dr. Mustafa Waziri, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council for Archaeology.
