Over 2,000 years ago the port of Herakleion, at the mouth of the River Nile, was the maritime gateway to Egypt. Now the city lies beneath the waters of the Bay of Abukir of the Egyptian north coast.

Egyptian Menat Necklace, Reign of Amenhotep III
Excavated from the Malkata palace at Thebes, dating to the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, circa 1390-1353 BC. Made of faience, bronze or copper alloy, glass, agate, carnelian, lapis lazuli and turquoise.
A menat necklace consists of a heavy, keyhole-shaped counterpoise (menat) and many strands of beads. Although the necklace is sometimes shown being worn, it was more often carried by females participating in religious ceremonies. It functioned as a percussion instrument that was shaken to create a soothing noise that was thought to appease a god or goddess. In the New Kingdom the menat necklace and the systrum were attributes of women who held the title “Singer of Amun-Re.”
