What Scientists Just Found Deep In The Ocean Is Seriously Unbelievable. I’m Still In Shock!

Off the coast of Egypt divers have discovered something that was thought to be lost a long time ago. It was said that the ancient city of Heracleion was lost under the sea for good.

Well 1200 years later, off the bay of Aboukir, this ancient city has finally been discovered.

The city dates back to the 6th century B.C. and holds some of the most beautiful artifacts you could imagine.

Things like grand statues of gods and goddesses standing well over 15 feet tall and carved out of red granite, treasures of gold and rare stones, elaborate temples and enormous tablets.

This find is enormous in the historical preservation community and has been commissioned by museums around the world.

Take a look at this incredible city found underwater.

This is diver Franck Goddio examining the enormous hand carved statue of a pharaoh. This statue stands roughly 16 feet tall and was found near a large temple under the sea.

Here is the head of a statue carved out of red granite depicting the god Hapi. Hapi is known as the god of the flooding of the Nile. Hapi is a symbol of abundance and fertility and has never been discovered at such a large scale before.

The divers and their team of researchers carefully lift the statue to the surface in order to preserve and protect this piece of history. It will reside safely in a museum.

Every single detail of this site in Aboukir Bay has been meticulously documented. Here a diver measures a red granite statues feet below the surface of the ocean.

 A bronze oil lamp in excellent condition. This dates back to the 2nd century B.C.

Here is a beautiful artifact, a Graeco-Egyptian statue of a queen carved out of dark stone.

A bronze small figure of the pharaoh of the 26th dynasty found at a smaller temple in the underwater city of Heracleion.

This is an absolutely epic underwater find that has researchers scrambling to this part of the globe to learn about this incredibly beautiful Egyptian city.

The fact that this city found underwater has been left untouched underwater for so many years is an amazing factor on its own let alone being a find as big as it truly is. These statues and artifacts are massive and nearly perfectly preserved.

The attention to detail in these pieces is truly beautiful and I’m happy to see it being preserved with great care.
