Underwater Ruins


In Egypt, underwater ruins as far as six miles out to sea hve been discovered. More proof for Velikovsky one might say. The remarkable fact is that it is only predicted under 'catastrophism'.

Herakleion was Egypt's main port in the time of the pharaohs.Until its rediscovery last year, it was known only through Greek legends and a handful of ancient history books.Researchers believe the city was sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean after an earthquake rocked the region more than 1,000 years ago.

So far there has never been archaeological evidence found to prove the existence of Herakleion, although historians knew of the once flourishing city. Herakleion's construction began in the 7th or 6th century BC, during the waning days of the Pharaohs. In the 6th or 7th century AD it sunk, probably due to major earthquakes, according to Goddio. "We are certain about the time, because our team discovered Byzantine and Islamic coins and jewellery dating back to this epoch."

"There are signs of a flourishing settlement, going back to Pharaonic times, but it's too early to say anything about it."

Stanley hopes that a study of Rhakotis may one day prove as inspiring as other recent offshore discoveries — such as finds by marine archaeologists of the 2,500-year-old ruins the cities of Herakleion, Canopus and Menouthis, pharaonic cities built on different parts of the coast near present-day Alexandria.

"There is an awful lot more of history to know," Stanley said, adding that geologists would have to drill more intensely on land, around the shores, and in Alexandria itself to shed more light on the ancient world.
