A colossal statue of the god Hapi in the sunken city of Heracleion.

I was also curious just how deep these finds were. According to the article the diggers(?) are working in 18 - 20 feet of water roughly 4 miles offshore from Abu Qir.

Some of the Med. coastline is sinking, and some of it is rising.

In N. Africa, Israel, and parts of Italy, some ancient coastal cities are now underwater. In Turkey, Syria and other parts of Italy some ancient coastal cities are now high and dry, far from water.
