Underneath a temple in the ancient ruined city of Taposiris Magna, archaeologists discovered a vast tunnel, referred to by experts as a “geometric miracle”.
The structure was discovered 13 metres (43 feet) below the ground by Kathleen Martinez of the University of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic and colleagues during an ongoing excavation of the temple. The 2-metre tall tunnel had been hewn through an incredible 1,305 metres (4,281 feet) of sandstone.
