Cleopatra’s Palace, Egypt
Another fascinating historical find off the coast of Egypt took place in 1998. A team of French archaeologists led by Frank Goddio discovered the lost site of Cleopatra’s Palace while exploring the sunken island of Antirhodos. This site was previously thought to be permanently lost to nature as a result of earthquakes and tidal waves. As of today, the site is open to the public. Divers can explore this hidden underwater world filled with statues, columns, platforms, and pavements that once made up the former palace.
