Deep Treasure Hunting the Lost City of Heracleion (Thonis) — Egypt’s Sunken Port After 1,200 Years

Описание: For over a millennium, the lost city of Heracleion—also known as Thonis— remained hidden beneath the waters of the Mediterranean, erased from human memory and reduced to legend. Once the principal maritime gateway of ancient Egypt at the mouth of the Nile, Heracleion was a powerful hub of trade, religion, and royal authority—before the sea gradually claimed it.

In this expedition, we descend into the submerged ruins off Egypt’s northern coast to uncover the remnants of this forgotten metropolis. Beneath thick layers of silt and eternal darkness, colossal stone statues, collapsed temples, vast harbor complexes, and sunken ships rise from the seabed—frozen in silence at the moment the city fell.

Through underwater archaeology and treasure exploration, we trace how earthquakes, rising sea levels, and unstable Nile sediments caused Heracleion to fracture and sink, sealing its wealth and history beneath the waves. Gold coins, sacred ritual objects, monumental inscriptions, and towering sculptures reveal a city of immense power and influence—one that once rivaled Alexandria itself.

This is not merely treasure hunting.
It is the rediscovery of a lost capital—where Egyptian and Greek civilizations converged, gods were honored, and the ancient Mediterranean world was shaped.

Heracleion is no longer a myth.
It has been found—and its long-buried secrets are finally emerging from the depths.
