The Nile River Delta is sinking beneath the Mediterranean waters and Alexandria, Egypt is sure to follow. A rising influx of disastrous weather and the effects of climate change are taking down the ancient city each year and the water levels will soon swallow Alexandria whole. In the next 50 years, the city is expected to be flooded and deemed unlivable. There are already two sunken, ancient cities that were once ruled by Cleopatra off the coast of Alexandria. Named (respectively) Cleopatra’s Alexandria and Harcelion, the sunken sites were lost for 1,600 before archeologists discovered the surprisingly preserved possessions and trinkets belonging to the late Egyptian Queen.
