					Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs Rediscovered Underwater Near Aswan
					Archaeologists recently unveiled a remarkable discovery near Aswan, Egypt: rock carvings depicting ancient Egyptian pharaohs, submerged for decades due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam. This underwater expedition, conducted by a joint French-Egyptian team, has brought to light significant artifacts that were long thought to be lost to history.
During their meticulous exploration in the Nile River, the team uncovered carvings featuring pharaohs such as Amenhotep III, Thutmose IV, Psamtik II, and Apries. These rulers, spanning the 18th and 26th dynasties, are now known to have left their marks on rocks that were submerged when the dam was built between 1960 and 1970. The findings were announced by Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and have sparked renewed interest in the area's archaeological significance.
