At a time when the research teams Looking for a sunken French fleet I moved the search for sunken antiquities to the shores of Alexandria in the nineties, and soon led to surprising results, as it revealed the existence of Ptolemaic Alexandria and the bottom of the Romanian shore of the city. According to archaeologists that the city swallowed by the sea at the end of the fourth century AD, is that we can stop at another event helped the disappearance of the city, a violent earthquake in the early seventh century AD led to the sinking of large parts of the city in the Mediterranean.
Came the first sign to the presence of traces of Alexandria's old map of tapir that work for the port of Alexandria in 1841, which refers to two places near the Bey Citadel and wrote down the «effects of underwater» After a century and a quarter from the date of this map could be recovered statue of Isis from one of the signatories.
Since 1992, the European Institute for the effects of sinking in conjunction with the Department of Antiquities in the sunken Egyptian Supreme Council of the effects of the work of a topographic survey and archaeological excavations along the shores of Alexandria for the detection of the sunken city. Both teams were able to draw a map of the eastern part of the port in accordance with the minutest details of eyewitness who visited Alexandria in 25 BC, a geographical Greek Strabo.

Was among those monitoring the divers hundreds of pieces that include the magnificent statues and sculptures and inscriptions belonging to the task periods ranging from Pharaonic times until the Roman era. It was the first online survey in 1992, and enabled high sensitivity that characterized the three magnetic probes have been used along with continuous measurement of the degree of slope of the beach to locate buried artifacts due to the differences between these pieces and sediment.
It became necessary after seeing the bottom of the sea with the naked eye to locate artifacts accurately. Took the ideas coming in as little Ibrahim Darwish, director of Antiquities in the sunken Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. He says that this led to the innovation system to determine the sites under water due to the difficulty of visibility due to pollution. And the memory of this system was characterized by its ability to accommodate 500 specific information were made by the sites in each task dive. It was for this method an active role in determining the effects of underwater topography.

The decision not to raise the effects of underwater, with the possibility of working templates for small lots. The template is made from silicon flexible, descend to two of the divers to the bottom of the sea to the work of the template after cleaning the artifact, and individual cloth them, followed by the development of a tablet of lead over the cloth, to be specific to the contours of the object and then pour Article floppy that turn into solid-state case. This process needs to be 16 hours in water at a temperature of 52 Celsius. And then imagine the templates on the mounted slides.
This process is assisted archeologists often read the inscriptions in Greek and hieroglyphics. Thanks to these templates enable archaeologists to reach the area flooded and the old buildings lost, which was covered by a layer of white sand and debris, while kept the interior of the ancient ports Btmiha the original, with the presence of large numbers of scattered jars (amphorae), of which the sound and broken. This may be due to the difference in levels between the submerged land and the sea floor in the old port and currents inside the port. Therefore follow the diving team method is based on the pieces Note the sunken submarine surfaces in view. Then follow these pieces together, which led to the discovery of the sectors covered by sand and silt have been observed in the initial survey.

In the work of the 1996 season consists of 12 European and 8 archaeological Egyptian archaeologists, the ship cooperation Oocheanks as a base for diving, as well as additional small ships, the implementation of the work of survey and registration areas and foundations for the old port. Work continued through the 1997 season, where was the location of many of the effects, including columns and stone blocks and the threshold of the doors and capitals columns and parts of the statues on the island was discovered submerged in the year 1996. All of this to draw a general picture of the topography of the submerged royal quarter, and the great panorama of the Ptolemaic port.
The discovery of statues of the Sphinx and the one of gray granite and diorite of the other surprise for divers, and there are parts of the broken statues. However, if their faces do not indicate a deliberate break in them, which suggests that they did not intentionally Ihtma.
And identified three royal palaces Ptolemaic in the series, have been identified island Busedoum that used to contain the Temple of Poseidon, where he was found in that region berth created by Marc Anthony, and established at the end of his tongue, his palace, who quit after losing the year 30 BC to Octavian. Also found on the island of Antrods, an island with an industrial port and the Royal Palace of Cleopatra. Also found an old ship, a length of 35 meters and width of 8 meters. Select the history of carbon-14 analysis by the first century BC or first century AD. Also found gold jewelry is a gold rings goes back to the first century AD.

And conducted the Egyptian mission in conjunction with the mission of the European Institute for the effects of sinking the first archaeological survey from them. After two years of work have been removed a layer of sand on an area of 500 × 700 meters contain ruins in the axis running from east to west and includes hundreds of columns and blocks of different shapes and sizes, and statues of the Sphinx and the statues of Isis and Serapis. The Ibrahim Darwish was found on this site some blocks of stone inscriptions bearing hieroglyphics dating back to the family of 26, some of the family 30 Alfronitin, the most important parts of the structure shows the towers and astronomy in ancient Egypt, as well as to find the currencies of Byzantine and Islamic belonging to the era of the Umayyad dynasty.
At a distance of four kilometers from the site of this city found on the city Herakleom which includes a number of large buildings and statues depicting the Kings Pharaonic style, and size up to four meters, as well as a rare collection of statues of the Sphinx.
