There were a few others, the best known being Cleopatra VII.

But wasn’t Cleopatra a queen? Didn’t the title of Pharoah die out with the Ptolemies?

She was the last of the Ptolemaic dynasty and the last pharaoh. :’)

It's a cool investigation.
I'd be interested in how and why the sea level at the port might have changed (wadi filling in, land rise, sea level changes, etc.)
It'd be interesting to make some SWAGs as to how many folks made their living there in the peak days, how many ships could be accommodated, where the ships were built, etc, etc etc).
Then there is the possibility of wrecks nearby to be found.
