wasn't rebuilt after the last destuction. Also, Carthage was rebuilt by the later Romans, and I believe existed continuously until being absorbed as a suburb of Tunis. I really don't think a list is appropriate here, simply because there will be an absolutely huge number of cities that got depopulated at some point or another: Ur, Babylon, Hattusas, Washukanni, Ctesiphon, Ecbatana, and so forth, just off the top of my head from one region of the world. Examples should be given in the text, that's good enough. If anyone disagrees, the list consisted of Troy, Carthage, Sodom, and Gomorrah, and they are welcome to restore it. Btw, the eruption of a volcano causing extensive damage to the Minoan palaces is well documented, but isn't it general consensus nowadays that they quickly recovered and mainly collapsed due to interference from the Mycenaean mainland? |
No, probably not but it will fit into what will prove a nice little catchment point. sjc
I don't think the capital of Atlantis was called Mu-Mu, though. Mu was a far later mythology; and the `Justified Ancients of MuMu?' in Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus trilogy merely muddy the water further.
Wasn't there an arabian city that got lost, as climate change and the shift of trade routes led to it being abandoned, and even its location being forgotton?
How about adding Pompeii and Heculaneum under this category? Not lost as in misplaced, but lost as in destroyed -- Malcolm Farmer
