Abstract :
The world´s first underwater museum could be displaying the treasures of ancient Alexandria as early as 2013. The article describes how Parisian engineers and architects plan to overcome the technical difficulty in this ambitious design. The finished structure will have to withstand earthquakes and tsunamis like those that destroyed the great queen´s palace 1500 years ago.
