About This Item
Gottingen: Steidl, , 2016. Rilegato tela (cloth). Perfetto (Mint). Testo di Jurgen Bischoff. 181 fotografie di Christoph Gerigk. Bibliografia. 8vo (cm 26x23,5). pp. 204. Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). In the spring of 1992, acknowledged pioneer of modern maritime archaeology Franck Goddio (born in Casablanca in 1947 and dedicated to archaeology since the early 1980s) set out to locate the port facilities and palace quarter of the ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria, founded in 331 BC. Equipped with cutting-edge sonar and nuclear magnetic resonance technology capable of detecting structures hidden deep in sediment, never before had maritime archaeologists put so much effort and technology into uncovering the mysteries of human history. Years later Goddio extended his search to include the Bay of Aboukir, where he discovered cities that had been swallowed up by the sea more than a thousand years before, along with huge temples, colossal statues and the world's largest ancient ship cemetery to date. Diving to the Pharaohs offers a first-hand account of this thrilling journey into the past, following Goddio's divers on their underwater ventures. Nella primavera del 1992, il noto pioniere dell'archeologia marittima moderna Franck Goddio (nato a Casablanca nel 1947 e dedicatosi all'archeologia fin dai primi anni '80) si è messo alla ricerca delle strutture portuali e del quartiere dei palazzi dell'antica città egizia di Alessandria, fondata nel 331 a.C. Dotati di tecnologie all'avanguardia come il sonar e la risonanza magnetica nucleare, in grado di rilevare strutture nascoste in profondità nei sedimenti, mai prima di allora gli archeologi marittimi avevano profuso così tanto impegno e tecnologia per svelare i misteri della storia umana. Anni dopo Goddio estese la sua ricerca alla baia di Aboukir, dove scoprì città che erano state inghiottite dal mare più di mille anni prima, insieme a enormi templi, statue colossali e il più grande cimitero di navi antiche del mondo. Diving to the Pharaohs offre un resoconto di prima mano di questo emozionante viaggio nel passato, seguendo i sommozzatori di Goddio nelle loro imprese subacquee.
