Egypt wants you to see its Atlantis in Alexandria. The country’s Ministry of Antiquities has proposed an underwater museum in Abu Qir Bay, just east of 2,000-year-old city Alexandria. Visitors would be able to view artifacts—like the relics from the ancient Lighthouse of Pharos—resting on the sea floor. See the project’s updated designs below.
