An Ancient Egyptian city named Heracleion or Thonis was unexpectedly discovered near Egypt’s modern coastline. It was a surprising discovery as the city was dismissed as a legend or folklore.
The significance of Heracleion has been demonstrated by the finding
of 64 ships, which is the biggest numberof ancient vessels ever found in
one spot. In addition to these ships, 700 anchors were found on the sea
floor!
Among the other antiques found at the archaeological site, following are the photographs of a notable few:
Colossus of a Ptolemaic Queen
Head of a Colossal Statue
Colossal Red Granite
Bronze Oil Lamp
Gold Vessel
Bronze Statuette of Pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty
Intact and Inscribed Heracleion Stele
