Egypt has revealed parts of a 2,000-year-old sunken city off Alexandria's coast. Divers and cranes recovered statues, buildings, and a dock from Abu Qir Bay, possibly an extension of the ancient city of Canopus. The site, submerged by earthquakes and rising sea levels, includes structures used for worship, living, and commerce, along with statues of royal figures and sphinxes. While some artifacts were retrieved, much of the submerged heritage will remain underwater. The discovery highlights Alexandria's vulnerability to rising sea levels, threatening a third of the city by 2050.
