I find this fascinating. I've been aware of it because a friend's son was on the original research team (he's a diver). seriouslyforreal.com/seriously-for-real/heracleion-photos-lost-egyptian-city-revealed-after-1200-years-under-sea/

Wonderful pictures. I've been following this in various publications Current World Archaeology has been good. Such an epic investigation. What a privilege to have been involved.

I know! And the statues etc are all so well preserved. Our friend's son sent us a few "insider" pics of the divers e.g. sitting astride some of the statues (but not quite touching them), can you imagine the excited horseplay.

I too have been following this in Current World Archaeology. It is indeed fascinating and would be wonderful to visit some day.
