Submerged off the coast of Egypt are the impressive ice age ruins of Menouthis and Heraklion, near Thonis (named for the egyptian regent Thonis) where circa 1200 b. c., Paris and Helen landed having been blown off course during their way back to Troy from Greece, with no mention of Menouthis nor Heraklion in Herodotus’ account, and about ten years later, Menelaus and Helen were blown off course on their way back to Greece from Troy to land there too where Canopus was established, named for Menelaus’ navigator, with no mention of Menouthis and Heraclion either in that account by Homer, because they had been consumed by the sea three centuries previously when the Ice Age ended.
