Heraklion, Egypt, 100 BC. Map v0.0.1

Heraklion, also called Tonis in Egyptian, and sometimes Heraklion Thonis, was an ancient Egyptian port city. Its ruins lie 2.5 km offshore, underwater at a depth of 30 feet (9.1 m), in what is now known as Abu Kheir Bay. In Tonis was the sanctuary of Nasa of Saïs. According to stone inscriptions found at the site, in the late historical period the city was known by both Egyptian and Greek names.


The legendary beginning of Tonis dates back to the 12th century BC. Its importance especially increased during the decline of the pharaohs. Tonis is mentioned by many ancient historians, including Herodotus, Strabo, and Diodorus. Herodotus mentions that Paris and Helena of Troy visited the city before the start of the Trojan War.


Tonis was originally built on several neighboring islands in the Nile Delta. It was strewn with canals and had many harbors and anchorages. Piers, temples and towers were connected by ferries, bridges and marinas. The city was an Emporium (trading port), and in later times became Egypt's main port for international trade and tax collection.


Over time, the city was weakened by earthquakes, tsunamis, and rising sea levels. In the late 2nd century BC, after a particularly devastating earthquake, the ground on which Heraklion's central island was built was thinned. The hard clay was quickly diluted, buildings collapsed into the sea, and Egypt’s main harbor vanished under the waves. Few settlers remained on the coast, and only coastal villages remained from the major cities.


This map is based on what the region looked like before Mother Earth struck. This is what Heraklion looked like before he was submerged.
