Amazing discovery of an Ancient Egyptian City Heracleion, who for centuries it was thought to be a legend, a city of extraordinary wealth mentioned by Herodotus, visited by Helen of Troy and Paris, but apparently buried under the sea. It is believed Heracleion served as the obligatory port of entry to Egypt for all ships coming from the Greek world.

The city, also called Thonis (by the Greeks), vanished from the earth about 1200 years ago, and is now found. The city is located within an overall research area of 11 by 15 kilometres in the western part of today’s Aboukir Bay, Egypt.
