The secrets of a lost Egyptian city were underwater
Thomas Page, for CNN • Published 5th May 2016
The ancient Egyptian cities of Canopus and Thonis-Heracleion sat on the seabed of the Abukir Bay for over a thousand years before pioneering archeologist Franck Goddio began excavating in 199. Now his finds are part of an upcoming exhibition at the British Museum in London: Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds.

(CNN) — Until 1996, two of Egypt's greatest cities were missing. Then along came French archeologist Franck Goddio, who made an extraordinary discovery underwater.
For 1,000 years, Thonis-Heracleion was completely submerged. Fish made their homes among the rubble of mighty temples; hieroglyphs gathered algae. Gods and kings sat in stasis, powerless, their statues slowly withdrawing from the world, one inch of sand at a time. Goddio spent years surveying this find, as well as neighboring Canopus, which was rediscovered by a British RAF pilot in 1933 who noticed ruins leading into the waters.
Thanks to a new exhibition at the British Museum, Goddio's incredible finds will soon be open to the public.
Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds opens May 19, and according to museum curator, Aurelia Masson-Berghoff, the exhibition pulls back the curtain on what was once one of archeology's greatest mysteries.
"(Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus) were known from Greek mythology, Greek historians and Egyptian decrees, and now we know where they were."
Objects discovered in the Mediterranean Sea are helping archaeologists uncover the history of two Egyptian lost cities.
Likely founded in the 7th century BC, Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus acted as major trade hubs between ancient Egypt, Greece and the wider Mediterranean, located as they were at a handy intersection. But circumstances ultimately conspired against them, explains Masson-Berghoff.
"Several natural phenomenon caused these cities to sink by a maximum of (32 feet) below the sea," she says, noting that a naturally rising sea level, subsidence and earthquakes (which ultimately triggered tidal waves) all played a hand.
Revealing excavations in the north of Egypt show how Greeks and Egyptians lived together thousands of years ago.
Gods of yester-millennium
Masson-Berghoff explains they also learned a lot from the form taken by the religious statues dug up from their watery grave. The statues were mainly of Ptolemaic gods with human features that represented the same qualities Egyptians prescribed to animals
"The Greeks were not exactly into animal-shaped gods nor into animal worship," she explains. "The Ptolemies, the Greco-Macedonian rulers of Egypt after Alexander the Great, created a human-shaped version of a very old Egyptian god, the sacred bull Osiris-Apis. In its 'Greek' form, he became Serapis, combining the aspects and functions of major Greek gods."
CNN gets a special tour of the "Sunken cities: Egypt's lost worlds" exhibition at the British Museum in London.
One of the statues was that of a colossal head representing the god Serapis, a Greek human-shaped version of the Egyptian god Osiris-Apis.
"We will show in 'Sunken Cities' a variety of sculptures depicting these Greco-Macedonian rulers as Egyptian Pharaohs, wearing Egyptian crowns and acting as if they were Egyptian Pharaohs," the curator says.
It was not vanity that prompted their change in style, but shrewd political maneuvering. "The Ptolemies really understood that they needed the support of the local priesthood and population, to legitimize their rule," Masson-Berghoff argues. "To achieve this, they adopted Egyptian beliefs, rituals and iconography."
The largest item on display is a statue of Hapy, ironically the god of flooding. Over 16-feet tall and weighing 12,000 pounds, the pink granite sculpture dates from the fourth century BC, long before Thonis-Heracleion disappeared into the sea.
Also worth noting is what Goddio's team left on the seabed. The archeologist discovered 69 ships: "the largest assemblage of boats ever discovered," Masson-Berghoff claims -- one of them likely used on a Grand Canal which linked Canopus and Thonis-Heracleion, upon which a sacred barge made of sycamore would travel during the Mysteries of Osiris, a celebration of the god of the underworld.
All of this, however, is just a drop in the bucket.
"What you need to know is that Franck excavated less than 5% of this site," the curator stresses. "They left a lot of material on the seabed."
The BP exhibition Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds runs at the British Museum, London from May 19 to November 27.
A lovely honey bee, Apis mellifera, stands ready for take-off. She will start her day gathering nectar and pollen for the hive. Newly emerged honey bees have more hair on their thorax while older bees have a shiny thorax - appears this little girl is new to the world. Welcome! She will probably only live about 6 to 8 weeks due to working so hard for the honey flow. In the winter time, they can live longer due to less work.

Apis is the Latin name for bee and today, an epithet for the scientific names of many species around the world.
This photo was (almost) accidental. The primary intention was the cherry blossom, but the bee came suddenly. I tried to relocate to capture the image of the flight, with several other shots. The best picture that emerged was that in which I did not expect the movement of the insect.
Anyway, this is one of the images taken during the Feast of the Flowering Cherry, Sakura Matsuri, organized by the local Japanese community.
(Apis é o nome latino para abelha, sendo hoje, um epiteto para os nomes cientificos das várias espécies pelo mundo.
Essa foto foi (quase) acidental. A intenção primária era a flor de cerejeira, mas a abelha surgiu de repente. Tentei remanejar para capturar a imagem do voo, com vários outros disparos. A foto que melhor saiu foi aquela em que eu não esperava o movimento do inseto.
De qualquer forma, essa é uma das imagens tiradas durante a Festa da Floração da Cerejeira, Sakura Matsuri, organizada pela comunidade nipônica local.)

Per tutelare i consumatori e l'ambiente e per superare l'attuale crisi degli impollinatori in Europa sono già diffuse pratiche di "Agricoltura Ecologica". Questa è l'essenza di uno studio pubblicato da Greenpeace International - presentato oggi a Roma presso il ristorante Open Colonna (Roof garden Palazzo delle Esposizioni) - che integra ricerca scientifica e esperienza pratica di agricoltori e imprenditori che ormai applicano la moderna agricoltura sostenibile in tutta Europa. Durante la presentazione, lo chef Antonello Colonna ha presentato alcuni suoi piatti realizzati con ingredienti che dipendono dall'impollinazione delle api. Questi insetti infatti non si limitano a produrre miele, come molti pensano. Un terzo del cibo che mangiamo e la maggior parte della flora spontanea dipendono dalla loro opera di impollinazione.
