WHAT SCIENTISTS JUST FOUND DEEP IN THE OCEAN IS SERIOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE !
Probably not a smart move to bring these objects up from the ocean for two reasons:
1) God detested the worship of these so-called gods/goddesses. When Jesus passed through Egypt as an infant, history records their statues fell over.
2) Because ISIS will destroy such historical objects when possible. The Bible says the antichrist will be in control of all the treasures of Egypt during the Great Tribulation and ISIS, per Nostradamus, are his troops. If it's not muslim, it has to be destroyed - in their opinion.
WHAT SCIENTISTS JUST FOUND DEEP IN THE OCEAN IS SERIOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE
Off the coast of Egypt divers have discovered something that was thought to be lost a long time ago. It was said that the ancient city of Heracleion was lost under the sea for good. Well, 1,200 years later, off the bay of Aboukir, this ancient city has finally been discovered. The city dates back to the 6th century B.C. and holds some of the most beautiful artifacts you could imagine. Things like grand statues of gods and goddesses standing well over 15 feet tall and carved out of red granite, treasures of gold and rare stones, elaborate temples and enormous tablets. This find is enormous in the historical preservation community and has been commissioned by museums around the world. Take a look at this incredible city found underwater.
This is diver Franck Goddio examining the enormous hand carved statue of a pharaoh. This statue stands roughly 16 feet tall and was found near a large temple under the sea.
Here is the head of a statue carved out of red granite depicting the god Hapi. Hapi is known as the god of the flooding of the Nile. Hapi is a symbol of abundance and fertility and has never been discovered at such a large-scale before.
The divers and their team of researchers carefully lift the statue to the surface in order to preserve and protect this piece of history. It will reside safely in a museum.
Here the pharaoh, the queen and the god Hapi are laid on the barge next to a temple stele. The stele dates back to the 2nd century B.C. It was found broken into 17 pieces. However, all were found and placed back together.
This gold plaque was found in the southern sector of the city. The text is written in Greek and acts as a signature for foundation deposits in the name of the king responsible for building this area. King Ptolemy III (246-222 B.C.)
In the reflection of this divers mask we see a bronze statue of the god Osiris. The crown is the typical insignia of power and this statue has eyes adorned with gold sheets.
Every single detail of this site in Aboukir Bay has been meticulously documented. Here a diver measures a red granite statue feet below the surface of the ocean.

The drivers carefully lift the enormous stele out of the water where it has been for well over 1,200 years.
Here the divers carefully inspect a stone full of gold fragments that date back to the 6th century B.C. I’m amazed that these are still intact.
This is a shallow gold saucer that was used for drinking and serving.
This is an absolutely stunning statue of a Ptolemiac queen found under the bay, most likely Cleopatra II or Cleopatra III dressed as the goddess Isis.
This red granite statue was also found near the big temple of Heracleion and weighs a massive 4 tons.
Here is a beautiful artifact, a Graeco-Egyptian statue of a queen carved out of dark stone.
