Supported by the Hilti Foundation, the French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio began his excavations near the Egyptian Mediterranean coast in 1996. With meticulous research and boundless energy, he and his team found the sunken cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus. Since then, not a year goes by without further sensational discoveries and unique artifacts being lifted from beneath the waves.
In 2003 Franck Goddio founded the Oxford Centre for Underwater Archaeology with the support of the Hilti Foundation. This institute documents and supports scientific research. Since 2006, regular exhibitions have been held around the world to present the remarkable finds and research results to the global public.
