Description
Discover the forgotten cities of the ancient world, where the ruins of once-great metropolises lie hidden beneath the sands of time. From the Neolithic period to the late Roman Empire, Philip Matyszak takes you on a journey to uncover the lost cities that have been submerged, swallowed up, or lost to history.
Explore the trials and tribulations of these ancient settlements, and learn how people have come together to live and thrive since the first settlements 12,000 years ago. Illustrated with important artefacts, ruins, and maps, this book brings to life the sites and settlements across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond that have been forgotten.
Matyszak reveals a dynamic network of peoples and cultures who fought, traded, and exchanged ideas, leaving behind a common heritage that can be seen in the remains of Çatalhöyük in Turkey and Skara Brae in the Orkney islands, Scotland.
