The first underwater archaeological museum may soon enter the list of Egyptian places of interest. The idea of creating the museum is directly connected with ancient treasures and buildings drowned after the earthquake of 365 B.C. and found by the archaeologists. In the beginning of 1990s, the French archaeologist Franco Goddio began excavating valuables that had drowned in the localities of Canape, Iraclion and Alexandria. Three royal palaces of the Ptolemaic dynasty, the Temple of Poseidon, as well as numerous statues, pieces of jewelry and other ancient objects have been reposing on the seabed during 1 500 years. These treasures are interesting not only as artifacts, but also because of the history of their underwater discovery.

Many of the precious exhibits would not endure their lifting to the surface. However, people shall be able to admire them due to the underwater museum in the gulf of Alexandria. Jacques Rougerie, one of the initiators and authors of the idea, is willing to provide a suitable building for the museum. After walking through overland exhibition halls and admiring the treasures newly obtained by the mankind, visitors shall get to the underwater gallery with a panoramic view of the site of archaeological graves and excavations. From the inner underwater grotto, they shall be able to see the real work of archaeologists on the seabed.

Realization of the bold and original plan faces only one problem - the project exists only on paper and lack sources of financing.

The same destiny has also one interesting project in Denmark, where four architects-engineers have created a project of an ecological mobile home - a hut on mechanical legs that can be relatively easy re-dislocated to any other desirable place without any additional means of transport, using only own built-in resources. But just the same as with this museum - this project also has a lack of financing and therefore exists only on paper.
