Cleopatra's palace sank long ago into the Mediterranean sea, but in the not to distant future visitors to Alexandria, Egypt, may eventually view the remnants of the palace via the world's first underwater museum. In a few years, you may be able to see Alexandria the way it once was deep beneath the sea. The areas of classical Alexandria that contained the ancient world's biggest library along with Cleopatra's palace have sunk beneath the waves, but now it looks as if the United Nations may step in and help Egypt show off these structures in a unique underwater museum.
If built, the museum could display treasures and monuments of her palace, which once stood on an island in one of the largest human-made bays in the world before it was submerged by earthquake in the fourth century A.D.
Until then we present for your viewing pleasure the following National Geographic documentary “Sunken Ruins of Cleopatra's Palace”.
