An ancient
city was discovered earlier this week under the Mediterranean
Sea off the shores of Tyre and Sidon, announced the president
of the Lebanese Association of Professional Divers.
The
submerged city dates back to 2,000 BCE, reported Lebanon's
The Daily Star.
Mohammed
Sareji told a news conference at his office in Sidon that
while diving, he saw many old streets, roads, jetties and
squares where statues still stand between 3 and 17 meters
below the surface.
"Yarmuta
is located along 4 or 5 kilometers between Zahrani and Sarafand,
and extends a further 800 meters out to sea," he said.
He showed
pictures and video footage of the city, adding that materials
used to build the city looked "strong and resistant."
