Standing above the sunken Osireion at Abydos, visitors look into a flooded subterranean complex. The ISIDA Project places its ultimate depth at about 28.5 m. Its account separately says a well drilled in the southeast scarp reached 22 m before hard material, so the contact’s 22 m figure should not be presented as the drop below the visitor platform. According to the presenter, the group was first told 15 m. They also described sand and rubble being cleared from the enclosure wall to reveal a dovetail clamp 🏛️🔧

Key facts
- The ISIDA Project gives the Osireion’s ultimate depth as approximately 28.5 m.
- Its account says a well drilled in the southeast scarp reached 22 m before hitting hard material; this was not the depth below the visitor platform.
- The presenter attributed the earlier 15 m estimate and later 22 m contact figure to discussions with the group and a source reached through Uncharted X.
- The presenter described sand and rubble being cleared from the enclosure wall to expose a dovetail clamp; the search results did not independently confirm this visit detail.
