Menouthis

Menouthis was a sacred city in ancient Egypt, devoted to the Egyptian goddess Isis and god Serapis.The city was probably submerged under the sea as a result of catastrophic natural causes: earthquakes or Nile flood.[1] Land in the bay area was subject to rising sea levels, earthquakes, and tsunamis, parts of it apparently becoming submerged after a process of soil liquefaction sometime at the end of the 2nd century BC.[7] In 413 AD, at a site opposite the temple,[6] Pope Theophilus of Alexandria built a Christian shrine dedicated to the Four Evangelists.[7] Coptic tradition says that the temple remained in use alongside the Christian shrine and the worship of Egyptian gods and their statues continued in the city.
