Soon to be coming off the coast of Egypt will be the first ever underwater museum being built by architect Jacques Rougerie. Ancient ruins were found off that coast near the library of Alexandria some years ago but the process of moving the artifacts may have damaged them too much that they left them underwater to keep them intact. Now the proposed plan is to build a museum around them, half being above water and another part of the museum set around the ruins underwater. The ruins have statues, sphinxes, and roman and greek ship wrecks.
