ALEXANDRIA, Egypt – Egyptian archaeologists on Thursday lifted an ancient granite temple pylon out of the waters of the Mediterranean, where it had lain for centuries as part of the palace complex of Cleopatra, submerged in Alexandria's harbor.

The pylon, which once stood at the entrance to a temple of Isis, is to be the centerpiece of an ambitious underwater museum planned by Egypt to showcase the sunken city, which is believed to have been toppled into the sea by earthquakes in the 4th century.

Divers and underwater archaeologists used a giant crane and ropes to lift the 9-ton, 7.4-foot-tall pylon, covered with muck and seaweed, out of the murky waters. It was deposited ashore as Egypt's top archaeologist Zahi Hawass and other officials watched.

Alien sex thread?. Discussing things like female aliens with three breasts etc? that I need to see. Imagine having more than two breasts to play with, how cool would that be. Roll on the alien invasion.

I looked at the OP with sleep filled eyes and I swear I saw "Monument lifted from Cleopatra's underwear." And I thought, wow, Marc Antony must have had a huge dong. I'm awake now and realize how little I care about a moist relic from ancient Egypt.
