What is fascinating is that the water that has flooded this temple 15 metres below ground isn't water from the Nile, nobody knows where it's coming in from, and modern industrial water pumps, five of which were being used, were not powerful enough to remove the water as the water came back in at a faster rate than was being removed.
Absolutely incredible engineering from the Egyptians, the fact that even modern machinery is unable to unwrap these achievements is mind blowing.
