The exhibition “Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worlds” at the British Museum recreates the two ancient cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus, submerged beneath the Mediterranean Sea for over 1,000 years, giving viewers the feeling of diving to the seabed to explore mysterious ruins. The exhibition evokes a sense of both mystery and dread, similar to the tense and enigmatic atmosphere in fnaf.
