It would be awesome to excavate underwater, but what about the crocodiles?

water digs!! they do this in Scotland too. searching the old submerged Crannog houses built on water for defense.

Nice stuff.............. but archaeologically speaking, can you place those artifacts in context? If not, you have nothing! Unless you're just a pot-hunter looking for pretty baubles. Jumping into the Nile and pulling up a piece of granite or pottery is not archaeology!

i dont understand what you are saying. why is it not acheology? they are recovering relics that otherwise wold be left to decay

I bet there's a whole trove of treasure lurking in there - I can't believe it hasn't been thoroughly excavated before.

What a refreshing break from sand! Nice to see another side of Egypt.

The best part of Egypt is the Coptic Christian History part
