Pharos 1

G. Soukiassian

A l'est du fort Qaitbay (1477-1479) bati sur l'ancien emplacement du Phare d'Alexandrie, le site sous-marin consiste en un chaos de blocs antiques couvrant une surface de 115 m N/S par 140 m E/W, a une profondeur de 5 a 8 m. Parmi les 4081 blocs inventories, 35 fragments pharaoniques, la plupart inscrits, sont ici publies sous forme de catalogue. Dix-neuf d'entre eux sont aujourd'hui exposes sur le site archeologique de Kom el-Dikka. Ils comprennent les fragments de deux paires d'obelisques de Sethi Ier, des vestiges architecturaux tels que des colonnes papyriformes fermees et des architraves, des sphinx dont le plus ancien est inscrit au nom de Sesostris III et le plus recent au nom de Psammetique II.
