Divers Found a City That Was Missing for 2,000 Years
Egypt's greatest port vanished so completely that historians argued whether it had ever existed. In 2000, a diver following a magnetic anomaly in Abu Qir Bay switched on his lamp, and found Thonis-Heracleion: temples, harbors, seventy ships, and a five-meter pharaoh, sealed under the sea since antiquity. This is how a whole city sinks, and what the silt saved.
