Ancient City in Egypt Rises

Ancient City by the Sea rises amid Egypt's resorts. The ancient city, known as Leukaspis or Antiphrae, was said to be hidden for centuries after it was nearly wiped out by a fourth century tsunami that devastated the region.


It was discovered almost 25 years ago and the Egyptian Government in now preparing to open the ancient Leukaspis' tombs, villas and city streets to visitors — a unique example of a Classical era city in a country better known for its pyramids and Pharaonic temples.

Visitors can go to understand how people lived back then, how they built their graves, lived in villas or traded in the main agora (square).. Everyone's heard of the resort Marina, now they will know the historic Marina. (Ahmed Amin, the local inspector for the antiquities department)
