Whole cities have gone missing.
Yes. Cities that were once bustling with people, palaces, temples and traders – suddenly, poof! Gone!
Some underwater (hello, Dwarka!), some buried under rubble (hey there, Mohenjo-daro!), and many lost in thick jungles or among mountains (we spy you, Machu Picchu!). Follow their trails across Asia and Africa, Europe and the Americas – to unearth sunken cities, buried kingdoms and legendary empires.
Wander among the incredible ruins of Dholavira in India, the majestic city of Pompeii in Italy, the jungle-wrapped temples of Cambodia's Angkor Wat, and Jordan's stunning rose-red city of Petra.
Were they swallowed by earthquakes? Zapped by aliens? Or just forgotten over time? Each lost city is a real-life mystery waiting to be solved. Through fascinating archaeological tales and exciting fun facts, this book is sure to wake up the explorer in you!
