Thonis-Heracleion

By: Kelly, Grant

Thonis-Heracleion uncovers the extraordinary story of an ancient Egyptian city lost beneath the Mediterranean for more than a thousand years.

Once a thriving gateway to Egypt, Thonis-Heracleion was a bustling centre of trade, religion, and cultural exchange between the Egyptian and Greek worlds. Then the city disappeared beneath the sea, leaving its temples, treasures, statues, and secrets hidden underwater for centuries. Its remarkable rediscovery in 2000 revealed a forgotten world preserved beneath the waves.

Explore the rise and mysterious fall of this once-great city, the archaeological discoveries that brought it back into the light, and the colossal statues, ancient temples, shipwrecks, coins, and artefacts recovered from the seabed. What caused an entire city to sink, and what else might still be waiting beneath the Mediterranean?

Blending ancient history, archaeology, and the thrill of discovery, Thonis-Heracleion is a short, punchy journey into one of the ancient world's most remarkable lost cities, perfect for history lovers, mystery enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by forgotten civilizations and treasures hidden beneath the sea.
