Remnants of 2,000-year-old sunken city lifted out of the sea off Alexandria

Egypt has revealed parts of a 2,000‑year‑old sunken city off Alexandria, including buildings, statues, and a 125‑meter dock, likely linked to the ancient city of Canopus. Submerged over time by earthquakes and rising seas, the site also yielded royal statues, sphinxes, reservoirs, and a merchant ship from the Ptolemaic and Roman eras. Authorities say only select artifacts are being recovered, leaving much of the site underwater, The Guardian has reported. Alexandria itself faces ongoing threats from rising sea levels, with a third of the city projected to be submerged or uninhabitable by 2050.
