Plunging straight down into the solid bedrock, this colossal, multi-level labyrinth was secretly carved out by hand thousands of years ago to honor the Egyptian god of the underworld. At the absolute lowest level of this claustrophobic descent, archaeologists uncovered a terrifying, pitch-black underwater tomb completely flooded by rising groundwater, housing a massive, sunken basalt sarcophagus. Exploring this eerie, waterlogged crypt requires specialized diving gear and completely changes our understanding of ancient Egyptian engineering and burial rituals.
