Ancient Cities Buried by Time

Script

Did you know that the ancient city of Thonis-Heraklion was swallowed by the Mediterranean Sea around 1200 BC, and was only rediscovered in 2000? This Egyptian city was once a major port, but was lost to the sands of time, or rather, the waters of the sea. The city was so well preserved that archaeologists found a temple, tombs, and even a stone pedestal with the name of the city's founder, Psamtek I. It's like the city was frozen in time, waiting to be uncovered. What other secrets lie beneath the waves, waiting to be discovered?
