The first archaeological museum under water will probably be added to places of interest of Egypt.

The idea of creation of a museum is directly connected with the archeologists’ discovery of the sunk antique treasures and buildings which have drowned after the earthquake of 365 AD.

Excavation of the values, which drowned under water in settlements of Canape, Iraklion and Alexandria, have been begun in the nineties of the last century by the French archeologist Franc Goddio.

Three royal palaces of dynasty of Ptolomaeuses, Poseydon temple, set of statues, jewels and other ancient subjects, were on a sea-bottom throughout 1 500 years. The treasures are interesting not only as artefacts, but also because of history of their detection under water.

Many of expensive exhibits have not survived lifting on a surface, but public will be able to see them thanks to underwater museum in the gulf of Alexandria. One of initiators and authors of idea Jacque Rugeri is ready to provide a suitable building for the museum.
In realization of the courageous and original plan there is one hitch - this project exists only on the paper and has no sources of financing.

Having passed on elevated showrooms and having admired treasures found again by mankind, spectators will get to underwater gallery, from where the panoramic view on places of archaeological burial places and excavation opens. From an internal underwater court yard-grotto the visitors will be able to observe real work of archeologists at the bottom.
