ArabiaWeather.com Sinan Khalaf - Hundreds of years of continuous searches carried out by a team of archaeologists have finally resulted in the discovery of a Pharaonic city dating back to the eighth century BC.

The city of "Heracleion", this lost city, its disappearance remained a mystery to scholars. It was once an important commercial and religious center before it sank in the Mediterranean Sea more than 1200 years ago.

The lost city, which contains many statues, coins and artifacts, the lost city was found at a depth of 30 feet below sea level.

Archaeologists believe that the process of excavating these antiquities may take at least 200 years, and it will open the door to the discovery of other pharaonic cities that may be buried under water.
