Franck Goddio and the Survey Team are continuing the sub-bottom profiler survey on the site of the sunken Egyptian City of Heracleion/Thonis. The next-gen technology be Innomar is providing spectacular 3-d imagery of things hidden under the settlement, including elements of the cities construction and evidence of the cataclysmic events that caused it to disappear into the sea.
In the wheel house, Gildas has a tough job keeping the SeaPro on line for the very close lane spacing chosen for the survey. Franck, Gerard, Elodie and Peter keep an eye on the incoming data stream in the survey control room. At the same time, the Egyptian crew of the Sea Pro keep all the machinery running perfectly.
The results of this survey are already interesting, and will lead to better understanding of the site and planning for future archeological excavations on the sunken city that revealed the artifacts currently on display in the British museum, and destined soon to be on display in Zurich as the Osiris Exhibition makes its stop there.
In the mean time, I cant wait to dive and investigate the information from the survey!
