Egypt reveals 2,000-year-old sunken artefacts off Alexandria coast

Statues are hoisted by crane from the Mediterranean Sea to the shore at Abu Qir Bay in Alexandria, artefacts from a sunken city unveiled by Egypt dating back to over 2,000 years on Thursday. Authorities said the site, located in the bay, may be an extension of the ancient city of Canopus, a prominent centre during the Ptolemaic dynasty, which ruled Egypt for nearly 300 years, and the Roman Empire, which governed for around 600 years.
