New archaeological find in Abu Qir
Egypt, Culture, 5/30/2000
An Egyptian-French archaeological mission discovered a city under water 4 kilometers of Abu Qir coastal port in Alexandria.
Deemed the first of its kind, the newly discovered city goes as far back as the Greek era and there are references to the fact that such city is no more than the old Greek city of "Mimes".
The European Institute for Sunken Monuments mission led by French archaeologist Frank Godio managed, two years ago, to retrieve 5 pieces of monuments, mainly Greek and Roman statue heads together with a number of 4-meter high pillars.
