Egypt has long been a place of mystery be it because of the pyramids the questions surrounding which have not been solved till date or the Sphinx. But those are not all the mysteries of this ancient land. It harbors many more, some almost a myth, unsolved, undiscovered. Some, well veil from some have been lifted and the truth has amazed the world. This is the uncovering of one such mystery, which many people did not even know existed in the first place.

The City

Unlike the city of Pompei and Babylon, the city of Thonis-Heracleion is not very well known. The reason? It has been lost for over 2500 years now and some had started believing that it did not exist in the first place. How and where was it found is not as interesting as WHAT was found in it. When a group of dedicated archeologists discovered this lost grand city, even they weren’t prepared for what they found there.
