 The illustrated story of the underwater exploration of the Pharos site and harbour complex by Jean-Yves Empereur and his team in 1994/5. Revealing traces of the famous lighthouse (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), this exhilarating book recounts the campaigns that salvaged colossal broken statues, architectural blocks, and a dozen sphinx from the sea. An irresistible glimpse of the hellenistic city of the Ptolemies.

Recounts the day by day story of the series of excavations in 1994 of the lighthouse of the ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria, which collapsed into the Mediterranean in 1477. Led by Jean-Yves Emprereur, head of the National Centre for Scientific Research, the excavations uncovered architectural blocks, columns, capitals, giant statues, a dozen sphinx, and other artefacts
