Egypt
Stunning artefacts shown in the gallery in this article come from lost Egyptian cities that were buried under the sea for more than a thousand years.
Around 250 artefacts have been recovered from the sea bed and belonged to cities that existed in the 8th Century AD, but they weren’t found until the year 2000 near Alexandria by French archaeologist Franck Goddio.
The artefacts are currently being shown in an exhibition in Paris.
