SUBMERGED LOST CITY RECREATED IN 3-D

 

 

The city of HERACLEION, where Cleopatra was inaugurated, remained hidden for 1200 years under the sea, until discovered in 2001. 

Now 3-D technology has created a map representing the city before it sank into the Mediterranean. 
 
See map, pictures of ancient artwork rescued from the depths, and short video of the still submerged ruins.  - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2316147/Heracleion-3D-map-raises-real-life-Atlantis-deep.html
 
How many of our coastal cities will someday be nothing but underwater points of interest for scientists? What will they find? McDonald signs?
