This documentary follows the marine archaeology team of the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities, organized by Ibrahim Darwich and French archaeologist Franck Goddio, as they discover, in the shallow waters just off the coast of Alexandria, numerous massive granite columns and blocks inscribed in hieroglyphics indicating the ruins of the Royal quarters of the ruling Ptolomies, and relics of Cleopatra's palace.
