Mystery of Cleopatra's palace on the ocean floor more overt. In a diving mission, Tuesday, May 25, 2010, a team of scientists had important findings on the ruins of buildings under the sea, which is believed to be a complex of palaces and the Temple of Isis, the place where the ancient Egyptian queen ever enthroned. The ruins were located on the seabed around the island Anthirodos, which is located near the port city of Alexandria, Egypt. Valuables from the ruins of the palace, which was first discovered in 1996, will be exhibited in the United States (U.S.) started early June. Divers swim in a pile of limestone sink to the seabed by the earthquake and tsunami of more than 1600 years ago. Teams of divers from a number of these countries struggled to dig one of the underwater archaeological sites in the world's richest. They even took the remarkable artifacts Cleopatra era relic, known as the last dynastic ruler of ancient Egypt before colonized by the Roman Empire in 30 BC (BCE). Using the latest technology tools, the team detected the buried ruins banguan far below the rest of the harbor sediments. Eventually a team of divers to confirm the accuracy of descriptions about the city of Alexandria, who were abandoned by experts in geography and Greek historians around 2000 years ago. Since the early 1990s, allowing topographic survey team led by French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio, to conquer the port of Alexandria which has poor field of vision. "This location is a unique site in the world," said Goddio who had spent two decades to find the lost city. This exploration brought a team of divers visiting the palace and temple complex of Isis. That's where having an affair with Cleopatra Roman general, Mark Antonius (Mark Antony). They allegedly committed suicide following the defeat of Antony from former allies, Octavian, in the Civil War. Octavian later appeared to lead the Roman by the name of the Emperor Augustus. Teams of divers found a number of primary places in the dramatic life of Cleopatra, Antony couples, including Timonium, where Antony withdrew from the outside world after the defeat of Octavian. The building has not been completed already done because Antony committed suicide. They also found a large head-shaped rock, that are suspected as Caesarion, son of Cleopatra and her lover before Antony, Julius Caesar. The team also found two sphinxes that one of these possibilities is the description of Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy XII.
