Egypt's sunken treasures

Over the past few years, divers working for underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio have recovered several large statues of ancient Egyptian gods and other ancient treasures off Egypt's Mediterranean coast. "With his discoveries Goddio has uncovered rituals, places of cult worship and ancient towns on Egypt's Mediterranean coast which had been so completely swallowed up by the sea that only their names remained in ancient scripts," Sonja Zekri writes about the "Sunken Treasures" exhibition in Berlin's Martin Gropius Bau. "In the times of the beautiful goddess Arsinoe, these places were resplendent. Restaurants, bath houses and brothels lined the coastal roads... But even more exciting than these testimonies of antique pleasures are those exhibits which show how smoothly the new kings related themselves to the Egyptian gods... The exhibition also proves that art can outlive ideological fanaticism. It wasn't the Romans who first attacked the bustling activity on the Mediterranean, but the Christians, who destroyed the pagan temples and countless statues of gods."
