New discoveries have been made at the site of a sunken temple off Egypt's Mediterranean coast, including precious objects such as silver ritual instruments and gold jewelry.

The archaeological excavations also revealed underground structures supported by well-preserved wooden posts and beams dating back to the 5th century BC.
