ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, June 3 —
Archaeologists scouring the Mediterranean
seabed announced Saturday that they have found the 2,500-year-old ruins of
submerged Pharaonic cities that until now were known only through Greek
tragedies, travelogues and legends.
AMONG THE STUNNING
discoveries at the sites — where the cities of Herakleion, Canopus and Menouthis
once stood — are remarkably preserved houses, temples, port infrastructure and
colossal statues that stand testimony to the citizens’ luxuriant lifestyle,
which some travelers had described as decadent.
This is the first time that
historians have found physical evidence of the existence of the lost cities,
which were famous not only for their riches and arts, but also for numerous
temples dedicated to the gods Isis, Serapis and Osiris, making the region an
important pilgrimage destination for various cults.
Herakleion, once a customs
port where commerce flourished until the founding of Alexandria by Alexander the
Great in 331 B.C., was found in its entirety.
“We have an intact city,
frozen in time,” French archaeologist Franck Goddio, who led the international
team in the search, told The Associated Press.
