<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1826967, member: 41863&quot;]Hey Guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>I was reading some information on an ancient underwater city that was found recently (within 10 years, but info really surfacing about it now) called Heracleion. Supposedly it was in the vicinity of Alexandria and was located in the Nile delta basin. Anyway, I was watching a small video while reading the article and seen a coin that I would like to find out some more info on.</p><p><br /></p><p>They made reference to the Pharoh&#039;s Lighthouse which was a structure at Heracleion, and this was depicted on the coin itself. So heres a picture below and I was hoping you all could tell me some more information about this coin. General diagnostics like metal content, better pictures perhaps, value, rarity, etc., or heck, if its even a real coin that exists.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]300823[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate the story is quite interesting about the recovery of this city and more information can be found at this link:</p><p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/archaeology/10022628/Lost-city-of-Heracleion-gives-up-its-secrets.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/archaeology/10022628/Lost-city-of-Heracleion-gives-up-its-secrets.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/archaeology/10022628/Lost-city-of-Heracleion-gives-up-its-secrets.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and here:</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleion" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleion" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleion</a></p><p><br /></p><p>also heres the video depicting the coin at about 1:15 in:</p><p>[media=youtube]f1B-XHFb1RQ[/media]</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and for anyone interested in an ongoing discussion, and more pictures and information, you can try the thread at this forum found at this link:</p><p><a href="http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread986525/pg1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread986525/pg1" rel="nofollow">http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread986525/pg1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Please pardon the source for the discussion thread, as it is being discussed on a conspiracy driven web-site, but I have found that many members over there are quite knowledgeable and always offer up some valuable information, once you get past all of the aliens and government conspiracy stuff. Its actually quite a good site for interesting information that doesnt always cross the mainstream media ticker, in fact just yesterday I read a thread concerning the new stealth drone that is being released by Northrop Grumman for the US AirForce. That was a good read as well, but anyway back to coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have any information regarding the coin in question? I would very much like to add an example to my collection if I can find one reasonably priced and available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
