Items of limestone buildings, marble and granite royal statues, and the stays of a service provider ship are among the many relics of an historical sunken metropolis retrieved by Egyptian authorities off the shores of Alexandria.

Courting again greater than 2,000 years, the artifacts have been reportedly hoisted from a submerged archaeological web site in Abu Qir Bay yesterday, August 21. Egyptian officers advised Agence France-Presse that the realm could also be a part of the long-lost seaport Canopus, a distinguished commerce, non secular, and luxurious hub that flourished throughout Egypt’s Ptolemaic dynasty and the Roman empire. A mix of rising sea ranges and steady earthquakes drowned the metropolis and neighboring Thonis-Heracleion roughly 1,200 years in the past.
