Valuable Archaeological Findings That Have Shaped History Over Milennia

In the 12th century BC, Thonis-Heracleion was Egypt’s crucial Mediterranean port, its existence mystified archaeologists until its ruins were spotted in 1933 by an R.A.F. pilot over Abu Qir Bay.

Unearthed in 1999 by French archaeologists, Thonis-Heracleion dazzled with discoveries like Arsinoe II’s gigantic statue, temples, and treasure troves, succumbing to nature’s fury through tsunamis and floods.
