The breathtaking city of Petra was a vibrant trading hub that vanished from
most maps in the seventh century A.D. It lay beneath a thousand years of
dust and debris when, in 1812, a Swiss scholar disguised as a Bedouin trader
identified the ruins as the ancient Nabataean
capital.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
Spread throughout a series of remote desert canyons in southern Jordan,
Petra arose more than 2,000 years ago at the crossroads of key caravan trade
routes between Arabia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. The Nabataeans carved
most of the sprawling city's buildings, including temples, tombs, and
theaters, directly into the region's towering red sandstone cliffs. Here, a
Bedouin walks his camel past Petra's most famous building, Al Khazneh, or
the Treasury<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html

The earliest Maya began to settle the dense rain forests of southwestern
Mexico and Guatemala some 3,000 years ago. For nearly 1,400 years,
settlements arose throughout the region, with some, like Tikal and Palenque
(shown here), expanding into large, vibrant
city-states.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
Although the archaeological discovery of Machu Picchu came nearly a hundred
years ago, historians are still unsure of the function of this ancient Inca
citadel.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
The Inca had no system of writing and left no written records, and
archaeologists have been left to piece together bits of evidence as to why
Machu Picchu was built, what purpose it served, and why it was so quickly
vacated.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html

Myth, folklore, mystery, and intrigue surround the ancient city of Troy like
no other ruin on Earth. Once thought to be purely imaginary, a prop in
Homer's epic poem The Iliad, excavations in northwestern Turkey in 1871
eventually proved that the city indeed
existed.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
In 1871, German adventurer Heinrich Schliemann began digging at Hisarlik,
Turkey, (shown here) in search of the fabled city. His roughshod excavation
wrought havoc on the site, but revealed nine ancient cities, each built on
top of the next and dating back some 5,000 years. At the time, most
archaeologists were skeptical that Troy was among the ruins, but evidence
since the discovery suggests the Trojan capital indeed lies within the
site.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html

The Indus Valley civilization was entirely unknown until 1921, when
excavations in what would become Pakistan revealed the cities of Harappa and
Mohenjo Daro (shown
here).<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
This mysterious culture emerged nearly 4,500 years ago and thrived for a
thousand years, profiting from the highly fertile lands of the Indus River
floodplain and trade with the civilizations of nearby
Mesopotamia.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html

There is evidence that the ancient city of Palmyra, also known as Tadmor,
was in existence as far back as the 19th century B.C. Its importance grew
around 300 B.C. As trading caravans began using it as a way station between
Mesopotamia and Persia. Palmyra's strategic location and prosperity
attracted the interest of the Romans, who took control of the city in the
first century A.D.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
The city of Tanis is relatively unknown among Egypt's wealth of historical
sites, though it yielded one of the greatest archeological troves ever
found. Once the capital of all Egypt, Tanis's royal tombs have yielded
artifacts on par with the treasures of
Tutankhamun.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
Once thought (erroneously) to be a city of the biblical Queen of Sheba,
Great Zimbabwe stands as the most important archaeological site yet found in
sub-Saharan Africa. Though historians are still seeking answers about the
origin and purpose of the city, evidence suggests the Shona, ancestors of
the modern Bantu, built it beginning around A.D. 1250 and that it served as
a spiritual center.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
Nimrud in northern Iraq was once the capital of the Assyrian empire. Feared
as bloodthirsty and vicious, the Assyrians arose around the 14th century
B.C. And dominated the Middle East for a thousand
years.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
Nimrud and the Assyrian Empire declined rapidly around 612 B.C., after
Nimrud's sister city, Nineveh, fell to the
Babylonians.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
The ancient city of Persepolis in modern-day Iran was one of four capitals
of the sprawling Persian Empire. Built beginning around 520 B.C., the city
was a showcase for the empire's staggering wealth, with grand architecture,
extravagant works of silver and gold, and extensive relief sculptures such
as this one portraying envoys with offerings for the
king.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
The height of Persian rule lasted from about 550 B.C. Until 330 B.C., when
Alexander the Great overthrew the ruling Archaemenid dynasty and burned
Persepolis to the
ground.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html

Over centuries of study, archaeologists have discovered many truths about
the famed Stonehenge monument in southern England. But despite these
advances, the basic questions of who built this iconic structure and why
have remained unanswered.<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html

More than 600 cliff dwellings made by the ancestral Pueblo people, also
known as the Anasazi, are scattered throughout Mesa Verde National Park in
Colorado (shown
here).<http://www.funzug.com/index.php/informa ... world.html
The Anasazi arrived in the region as early as A.D. 550, building their homes
and cultivating crops on the soaring mesa tops. Around 1150, though, they
began to move their dwellings to the alcoves within the canyon walls. Most
houses were quite small, but a few reached enormous proportions, housing up
250 people.
