Heracleion: Egypt’s Lost City Beneath the Sea | Part 1

For nearly 2,000 years, one of ancient Egypt’s most important cities lay hidden beneath the Mediterranean Sea. Heracleion, also known as Thonis-Heracleion, was once a powerful gateway into Egypt, filled with temples, massive statues, busy harbours, merchant ships and connections between the Egyptian and Greek worlds. Over centuries, the city slowly disappeared beneath the water and was eventually almost completely forgotten. In Part 1 of this documentary series, we explore the mystery of Heracleion, its extraordinary underwater ruins, its role in ancient Egypt, the monumental discoveries found beneath Abu Qir Bay, and the first clues explaining how an entire city could vanish beneath the sea. Was Heracleion really Egypt’s Atlantis? What did this city look like at its peak? And what happened to the people, temples and harbours that once stood here? This is the story of the real lost Egyptian city beneath the sea.
