An underwater archaeological mission in Egypt's Bay of Aboukir has uncovered an extremely rare ship, believed to be over 2200 years old.
Archaeologists from the Hilti Foundation's Franck Goddio underwater team were exploring the ancient Thonis-Heracleion site, when they came across a Ptolemaic warship.
Many special artifacts were found at the site where the ship was re-discovered.
Gold treasures were buried deep, preserved underneath the waves by wet clay.
It has been said the ship, which was moored at a landing stage of a canal along the south face of the temple, sank when it was hit by giant blocks from the famed temple of Amun during 'a cataclysmic event during the second century BC.'
