The Suez Canal, the most notable example of a canal project in Europe, was first attempted in ancient times, with initial concepts traced back to the Pharaohs of Egypt around 2000 BC. However, the modern construction of the canal began in 1859 under the leadership of Ferdinand de Lesseps, and it officially opened in 1869. This monumental engineering project connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, significantly altering global trade routes.
