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

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.

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 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/
