An investigation into a Phoenician ship wreck was deemed "a threat to the national security of Egypt" Here's the transcript of a YouTube video on the event:
>[Robert D. Ballard] Last time we were here which was in 1999, Israel said we were off their coast and they came out with a gunboat, and that's pretty convincing, and they also sent observers but they said but you're beyond our territorial waters. Therefore, you don't have to ask permission here beyond our territorial claims, but then the law changed and the borders shifted and it became Egyptian waters. >[Narrator] Ballard was awaiting final permission from the Egyptians, when elusive Phoenicians slipped away again
>[Robert D. Ballard] All of the sudden we get a letter from our State Department in Cairo, saying that the Egyptian military deems our mission a threat to the national security of Egypt, wow, that's amazing.

It is very likely that Israel has pressured Egypt to change the borders so that the connection between Israel and the Phoenician ship wreck would be less obvious.
Now the question is, why are Egypt and Israel so protective of a Phoenician ship wreck?
>>2010 Well the first Britons were Phoenicians, probably to cover up our history, not sure. A people that knows their own history is more dangerous than those that do not.
>>2010 >Why would the ancient Phoenicians be a threat to modern day Israel and Egypt?
It's probably like with the Dead Sea Scrolls which some people say are of gnostic nature.
Zionists are afraid details about the origins of their faith might enter the public consciousness.
People might wonder why their flag bears the Seal of Solomon which he was using when he stopped being a jew because magick was more fun.
In the end it's probably just amphores filled with horseradish but I'd still like to see that shit excavated and the ship preferrably brought to a museum if it's stable enough for salvage.
