Heracleion (Greek: Ἡράκλειον), also known as Thonis (Θῶνις), was an ancient Egyptian city near Alexandria whose ruins are located in Abu Qir Bay, currently 2.5 km off the coast, under 10 m (30 ft) of water. Its legendary beginnings go back to as early as the 12th century BC, and it is mentioned by ancient Greek historians. Its importance grew particularly during the waning days of the Pharaohs—the late period, when it was Egypt's main port for international trade and collection of taxes.
Heracleion was originally built on some adjoining islands in the Nile Delta, and was intersected by canals. It possessed a number of harbours and anchorages, was the sister city of Naucratis, and was superseded by Alexandria.
It was believed that Paris and Helen of Troy were stranded here on their flight from the jealous Menelaus, before the Trojan war began or that Menelaus and Helen had stayed there, accommodated by the noble Egyptian Thon and Polydamna. Also, it was believed that Heracles himself had visited the city, and that the city had gained its name from him.

For Spring Break 2012 I jumped on a plane and headed to Egypt. My first stop was a three day excursion in Luxor. In this video you will see clips and pictures from my visit to The Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. There was no photography allowed in some areas like The Valley of the Kings. Still there was plenty to see. It was an amazing tour provided by Sina Tours. If you have plans to visit Egypt, make sure to travel with them. They provided me with all travel arrangements from the airport to the hotel, entry to all attractions, and all lunches. They pretty much took care of everything. My guide who you will see was also great. He was so personable that it felt like a trip with a good friend than a travel guide. http://sinatou...

It is a city shrouded in myth, swallowed by the Mediterranean Sea and buried in sand and mud for more than 1,200 years. For centuries it was thought to be a legend, a city of extraordinary wealth mentioned in Homer, visited by Helen of Troy and Paris, her lover, but apparently buried under the sea. In fact, Heracleion was true, and a decade after divers began uncovering its treasures, archaeologists have produced a picture of what life was like in the city in the era of the pharaohs. The city, also called Thonis, disappeared beneath the Mediterranean around 1,200 years ago and was found during a survey of the Egyptian shore at the beginning of the last decade. Now its life at the heart of trade routes in classical times are becoming clear, with researchers forming the view that the cit...
Documentary following a team of maritime archaeologists as they uncover the remarkable city of Heracleion, lost to the sea and forgotten for over two thousand years. In the fading days of the pharaohs, the city of Heracleion was the gateway to Egypt and a port beyond compare. In the 4th century BC, this was an opulent and prosperous place adorned with statues and sphinxes. It was a city of religious significance and home to the temple of Amun. In the 2nd century BC it was wiped off the face of the earth. In a mysterious subsidence, the coastline dropped by over 20ft and Heracleion was consumed by the sea. The lost city slept for centuries beneath the waters of the Mediterranean. In 2000, archaeologists made an incredible find. Using ancient texts, they discovered the city's remains six k...

Heracleion ia a city much like Atlantis, submerged and swallowed by the Mediterranean sea for over 1200 years. But archaeologists are now discovering amazing statues of Egyptian Gods and beautiful gold artifacts. The mysteries of this sunken city is truly being unraveled. The city known by two names Heracleion by the Greeks and Thonis by the Egyptians was discovered 150 feet below the surface of the sea over a decade ago by a shore geo survey. Hope you enjoy the photos and facts!
Heracleion was rescued from myth when it was re-discovered about 15 years ago just northeast of Alexandria, Egypt. I give my theory as to why it went under. http://www.earthporm.com/lost-egyptian-city-found-1200-years/ http://www.earthporm.com/ Google Earth
Se perdió completamente bajo las aguas de la costa egipcia, hasta que los arqueólogos dieron con sus colosales estatuas de más de cinco metros de altura.
I never thought that love could be unkind
'Cos your the type of guy I thought I'd never find
I thought I could forget you and be strong
But the love I have inside makes me hold on
And now I am beside myself
I think of you and no one else
You held me tight I felt so safe
And now I know I've been replaced
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us to leave
You'll never know the hurt you put me through
Cos you're loving her while I was loving you
You took my heart and ripped it into shreads
And now your heart is with that girl in your bed
I know I'm just a memory
But I will love you endlessly
You cherished me
You made me strong
You gave me strength to carry onWhat does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us
Don't you think I'll sit there crying over you
Baby, don't you take me for a fool no, no, no
I'll think of you along the way
I'll get over you I hope and pray
If I was not the one for you
Why did you choose me? to make me blue?
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us to leave
