  • L'Égypte a récupéré avec succès trois artefacts antiques de la mer Méditerranée jeudi, marquant la première opération de récupération d'antiquités sous-marines du pays en 25 ans.
  • Les sculptures massives, dont un sphinx portant le cartouche du pharaon Ramsès II, ont été hissées depuis le fond marin dans la baie d'Aboukir, près d'Alexandrie, à l'aide de grues, sous les acclamations des plongeurs célébrant cet exploit historique.
  • Les artefacts provenaient de l'ancienne ville de Canope, un centre commercial majeur durant les périodes ptolémaïque et romaine, submergé il y a plus de deux millénaires en raison de tremblements de terre et de la montée du niveau de la mer.
  • Le site sous-marin contient des ruines étendues, notamment des bâtiments en calcaire, des temples, des réservoirs, des bassins taillés dans la pierre et un quai de 125 mètres ayant fonctionné des périodes ptolémaïque à byzantine.
  • Le ministre du Tourisme et des Antiquités, Sherif Fathi, a souligné que la plupart des artefacts resteraient submergés en tant que partie du patrimoine sous-marin de l'Égypte, seuls certains objets étant récupérés selon des critères archéologiques stricts.
