Ancient Alexandria - a Greek city in Egypt, ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty until the time of Cleopatra - today lies hidden beneath the sprawling modern city. There is one place however, where the remains of this fabled metropolis are still accessible: under the sea.
Archaeologist Franck Goddio and his team spent 10 years exploring the seabed around Alexandria's harbour. Their object was to map the ancient port, the semi-mythical Portus Magnus, as well as the coastline and to locate some of the buildings tantalisingly recorded in ancient texts.
After 12,000 hours of diving, sifting through 23 centuries of history, Franck Goddio, Andre Bernand and the IEASM team piece together this compelling account of the largest underwater archaeological site ever explored.
