LOST TO TIME 

Throughout history, some cities have vanished with time, buried under sand, jungle, or water. However, some rediscovered lost civilizations offer a glimpse into the past.

Here Are 5 Ancient Cities Lost to Time but Rediscovered:

Machu Picchu, a 15th-century citadel, likely served as a summer retreat for Incan rulers. It remained hidden for years due to its remote location.

In 79 A.D., the city of Pompeii met a tragic fate when Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying it beneath a thick layer of ash. Centuries later, it was rediscovered during excavations under the Bourbon dynasty.

This legendary lost city of gold is believed to have been hidden in the Americas before the 16th century. The Spanish discovered gold in South America, fueling the myth of its existence, but the city remains a mystery.

Nestled in the southeastern hills of Zimbabwe, Great Zimbabwe was once a thriving city before being abandoned in the 15th century, possibly due to dwindling resources like gold, water, and fertile land.

The Lost City of Z was a fabled Amazonian city sought by Percy Fawcett, who disappeared during his expedition. In 1925, the discovery of Kuhikugu suggested it might be the lost city.
