It’s like Atlantis, but better! Today we tell the story of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus — two lost cities at the mouth of the Nile, swallowed completely by the sea by the 8th century AD. As we continue the last of our Summer Extravaganza, Stephanie teaches Elene about the remarkable story and legacy of ancient cities that only recently saw the light of day… But that contributes to our larger understanding of Ancient Egypt. Join us as we tell the story of Osiris, get mad as we discuss the French, learn so much about culture and religion from some stele, and contemplate how we get into the field of Marine Archeology without having to go back for another Masters degree.
