#2The thing I’m confused about from the article is that, if I read it correctly, the temple was found a few miles from the coast. Did the Nike delta use to extend that far? Or what? That seems to be pretty far.

My guess is rather that the underlying land was pushed to the sea over the years by the flow of water and sediments.

The entire sentence says, "The former city, now underwater and about 4.3 miles (7 kilometers) from Egypt's modern-day coast, was destroyed when a major earthquake and tidal waves caused the land to liquefy and sink into the Nile delta."
That seems pretty clear. The land sank below sea level during the earthquake.

Yes the nile delta used to extend further than ~4 miles from the current coast. For more details, see here --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleion

Clearly Atlantis has been found.

#9A better source might be the acheologists' own website:

There's a good video from a couple years ago there exploring the same site, I guess the news is a new cache of artifacts, not the discovery of the temple itself.

Particularly if his knock-back sends you into the hole.
