Habi Rises from the Sea: A Journey to a Lost City
In the depths of Abu Qir Bay, the sea hides a great secret: the sunken city of Heracleion, which was a witness to the glory and culture of ancient Egypt. After lying buried underwater for more than a thousand years, it was discovered by archaeologists who were dazzled by what they found: statues, temples, ships and priceless treasures. Among these monuments, the statue of Habi, the god of the Nile and fertility, stands out, rising majestically from the bottom of the sea.
The statue of Hapi is the tallest statue of the gods of Egypt. It is made of red granite and bears a double crown, a symbol of unity between Upper Egypt and the Delta. Divers help lift the enormous statue, which appears to be rising from sleep after centuries of oblivion.
This discovery is a unique opportunity to learn about the life and religion of the ancient Egyptians, and to admire their art and architecture.
Heracleion is a lost city that comes back to life, and the statue of Habi is a witness to its ancient history.
