This tunnel mentioned above, is very intriguing - I never cared much for Hawass (neither do many Egyptians who work for him ) but he won't retire of course. He said "It's unlikely they are buried there because Egyptians used Temples for worship not burials", but the Ptolemys were Greek and Antony - Roman. She only part Egyptian.
They could be here or in the Sea (due to the earthquakes) (see photos):
Burial shafts containing Greco-Roman burials have also been found in the temple. It's possible that – if they're to be found there at all – Cleopatra and her husband Mark Antony may have been interred in similar tombs.
Researchers weren't sure if the tunnel could lead to these long-lost tombs, but future work could yield more information.
The next stage will be exploring the nearby Mediterranean Sea. Between 320 and 1303 CE, a series of earthquakes hit the coast, causing part of the temple to collapse and be swallowed by the waves. In addition, excavations had previously revealed a network of tunnels stretching from Lake Mariout to the Mediterranean.
