It is Not Atlantis, It is Alexandria
Imagine swimming through the depth of the sea to find one of the greatest cities of the Ancient World. The United Nations has agreed to help the Egyptian government make that possible. Ancient Alexandria lies at the bottom of the sea and with it the largest library built at the time and Cleopatra's palace. The UN and Egypt will be working on a way to create an underwater museum which will showcase this ancient city.

Above the water, the main structure of the museum will showcase several collections and some of the sculptures which have already been pulled out of the water. The images included are the architectural drawings for the museum and an image of one of the fallen structures that belonged to the once 'hottest' of Roman getaways.
