Egypt
Interview with Alexandria marine archaeologist Franck Goddio
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2433875,00.html
"DW-WORLD.DE spoke to French marine archeologist Franck Goddio, who brought lost parts of the legendary port of Alexandria and the ancient cities of Heracleion and Canopus back to light.
'Egypt's Sunken Treasures', an exhibition of artifacts unearthed during Goddio's excavations, went on show in Bonn on Thursday.
DW-WORLD.DE: After thousands of excursions to sunken cities and shipwrecks around the world, your living room must look like an adventurous place.
Franck Goddio: Well, it's not an adventure. I would say it's a job, and we are doing this job very professionally. We plan each mission carefully and train our staff for that, and before starting, there is a lot of paperwork that has to be done."
