Please note: this is not the original underwater egyptian ruins, it is actually modern sculpture from the Neptune Memorial Reef.  I found the image on this site: http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.co.nz/2011/09/underwater-liion.html when I was just starting out, and didn’t check the validity of the photograph. This photograph has been used by many websites in order to giva an idea about what they actual ruins look like. However, the courtyards are thought to exist, which you can read about here: http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/Media/royal-quarters-cleopatra-underwater-museum/story?id=10866120#.UAuusDGolLo  So therefore, please see this photo as giving an idea about what the actual courtyards could look like instead of the actual ruins. I would also like to apologize for the original, misleading description.
