Sunken Cities Of The Ancient World

Though finding Atlantis may still be a pipe dream, these cities, long submerged in the depths of their surrounding oceans,

provide enough mystery and wonder to whet your imaginations.

Cleopatras Kingdom, Alexandria, Egypt

Lost for 1,600 years, the royal quarters of Cleopatra were discovered off the shores of Alexandria. A team of marine

archaeologists, led by Frenchman, Franck Goddio, began excavating the ancient city in 1998. Historians believe the site wa

submerged by earthquakes and tidal waves, yet, astonishingly, several artifacts remained largely intact. Amongst the

discoveries were the foundations of the palace, shipwrecks, red granite columns, and statues of the goddess Isis and a sphin

The Egyptian Government plans to create an underwater museum and hold tours of the site.

Bay of Cambay, India


5/6



The Bay of Cambay was discovered by marine scientists in early 2002. The city is located 120 feet underwater in the Gulf ofCambay off the western coast of India. The city is five miles long and two miles wide, carbon dating estimates the site to be

whopping 9,500 years old, and, more amazingly, architectural and human remains are still intact. The discovery astounded

scientists because it predates all other finds in the area by 5,000 years, suggesting a much longer history of the civilization

than was first assumed. Marine scientists used sonar images and sum-bottom profiling to locate the lost ruins and it is

believed the area was submerged when the ice caps melted in the last Ice Age. The Indian nationals have dubbed the find

Dwarka (The Golden City) in honor of ancient submerged city said to belong to Hindu god, Krishna.
