The story of Atlantis has captures our imaginations for a very long time. There is a terror and allure to the idea that an entire city could simply sink into the ocean and be forgotten, but while the existence of Atlantis is a matter of debate, there are many other sunken cities that not only existed, but have since been rediscovered and explored by archaeologists.These cities, many of which date back to the last ice age, hold countless treasures and other secrets that have made historians rethink the things they thought they knew about ancient civilizations. Earth's oceans have long been a difficult and, at times, inaccessible place to try and explore, but modern technology has allowed us to map out the ocean's floors with greater detail than any other point in history, and this book takes you on a photographic journey of some of the most fabulous lost cities that have ever been uncovered.From the legendary pirate paradise of Port Royal, to a 2000 year old Han Dynasty palace sitting under a lake in China, to Cleopatra's lost palace in Alexandria, and even one of the earliest known farming settlements off the coast of Israel, prepare for a journey through some of the most remarkable ancient locations in the world!
