"A French-Egyptian archaeology team has retrieved more than 1000
artifacts, including statues and busts of pharaonic gods and goddesses,
from the Mediterranean Sea floor off Egypt's northern coast of Alexandria,
according to the Egyptian antiquities officials earlier this week. The
2003 Abu Qir Bay Department of Archeology Mission under the Supreme
Council of Antiquities and the European Institute for Underwater
Archeology unearthed artifacts during archaeological surveys which helped
define the topography around the sanctuary site or the temple of Heracles.
Dating back to the third and fifth centuries B.C. the finds reveal a cult
that worshipped the ancient pharaonic deity Amon and his son Konshu in a
bid to preserve the legitimacy of the Ptolemaic reign.

"The discovery includes tools and containers used in religious rituals,"
said Mohamed Abdel Maqsoud, a senior official in the Supreme Council of
Antiquities. Quantities of ritual basins and cult offering objects laid on
the sea floor on the channel situated north of the temple site."
