| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The temple of the ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite was discovered underwater off the coast of Egypt by scientists from the Egyptian-French archaeological mission. CNN reported this on September 20 , citing information from the European Institute of Underwater Archeology (IEASM). It is clarified that a joint Egyptian-French archaeological mission from the Supreme Council of Antiquities and the European Institute of Underwater Archeology discovered the temple of the goddess Aphrodite, dating back to the 5th century BC. An ancient Greek sanctuary dedicated to Aphrodite and containing bronze and ceramic objects was discovered during excavations underwater in the sunken ancient city of Heraklion in the Gulf of Abu Qir near Alexandria. Artifacts discovered inside the temple were brought from Greece. According to IEASM, the remains of Heraklion are now underwater at a depth of 45 meters, seven kilometers from the current coast of Egypt. The city was the largest port of Ancient Egypt on the Mediterranean Sea for several centuries in a row. Rising sea levels and earthquakes, followed by tidal waves, caused part of the Nile Delta, covering an area of ​​110 square kilometers, to completely submerge, taking with it the city of Heraklion. According to archaeologists, the city disappeared under water about 1,200 years ago. Scientists from IEASM discovered Heraklion in 2000. Earlier , IA Regnum reported that in the south of Peru, in the department of Ayacucho, researchers from the National University of San Cristobal de Huamanga discovered seven tombs with human remains. All ancient burials date back to the pre-Columbian era. |

KU Natural History Museum: Once inside the main lobby, visitors can see one of the most amazing fossil marine reptiles–a gigantic Tylosaurus hangs above the stairwell. During its time, this incredible almost-50′-long mosasaur was certainly the apex predator of the sea. The fossil at KU is a cast of the largest mosasaur ever discovered, and like many major sea reptile discoveries–it was found in Kansas. Faith Test in St. Grrrta? |
