Description
For centuries, the lost Egyptian city of Heracleion remained hidden beneath the waters of Abu Qir Bay.
But archaeologists did not simply dive into the sea and suddenly discover an intact ancient city.
In Part 4 of our Heracleion documentary series, we explore how modern technology, historical records, sonar surveys, magnetometers, underwater mapping and carefully planned excavations helped researchers locate and reconstruct Thonis-Heracleion piece by piece.
From invisible anomalies beneath the seabed to monumental statues, temple blocks, ancient ships, inscriptions and harbour structures, every discovery helped reveal the true scale of this extraordinary Egyptian port city.
How did archaeologists know where to search? How was an entire submerged city mapped beneath layers of sediment? And how much of Heracleion may still remain undiscovered?
This final chapter follows the science, technology and underwater archaeology behind one of the most remarkable rediscoveries in modern Egyptian history.
