Lost civilisations

Even though people have dedicated their lives to

finding out what happened to abandoned cities,
some places still remain a mystery, and likely will for
a long time to come.

Ruins of the prosperous Indus Valley Civilisation

can be found in and around the floodplains of the
Indus River, in what is currently Pakistan and
northwest India.

The Olmecs developed their civilization along the

Gulf of Mexico around 1100 B.C.E. Although most
evidence of their structures has disappeared, many
of these carved heads remain to commemorate their
existence.

The lost city of Petra was a bustling metropolis

around the same time Christ lived. Carved into the
cliffs of the Jordanian desert, the remains still draw
tourists by the thousands.
