Underwater survey of the Pharos site begins off Qaitbay
node
A team led by the French archaeologist Jean-Yves Empereur began systematic underwater mapping of the seabed off the Citadel of Qaitbay, identifying around 3,500 architectural items including column capitals and bases, sphinxes, obelisks and colossal statuary in both Greek and Egyptian styles. It is the first archaeological engagement with the wonder that had been known only from texts.
