Heracleion

This place is a myth from one of The Great Writers named Herodotus. He is famous for his tale of Helen of Troy. But there is no proof until recent years of this place being alive. Well not alive with living humans but alive in its ruins.

They have found A statue of Aset and Hapi and a Pharoah that is still unkown currently. In grand Conditations. All range to about 16 feet each !

Heracleion can now be added to the number as Egypts most important port during the time of the later pharaohs.

Sorry but I can't see such a post and not reply.. Please when dealing with History check on a book in your local library before copying and pasting from the internet which is not at all a reliable resource unless you can check on other media.

1 Herodotus is the father of the modern concept of history, and that of autopsy (see with your own eyes). His masterpiece is Historia and is about the Persian Wars, where he personally fought and lost a Brother.
No proof his been alive? Check on a serious history book!

2 The "tale" of Helen of Troy is recounted in the Ilyad, writted by Homer (and Homer probably wasn't a person, but the idea of the last who collected the oral tradition).

3 Heracleion is not such a recent discover, since is near Alexandria and this place is exensively researched.
