Rediscovering Hidden Cities
Civilisations rise and civilisations, fall and sometimes all that’s left is the rubble and ruins of a once-mighty city. Here are four arbor at who visited some abandoned cities from long, long ago and rediscovered lost worlds.
A Luke Hart in Petra, Jordan
We arrived by jeep at the entrance to tie deserted city of Petra, Jordan, to be faced with nothing more than a giant crock in the rock face. But after 30 minutes’ walk along what was once a tiled path, but is now nothing more tian sand, the narrow canyon suddenly opened out and we found ourselves in front of a magnificent multi-coloured stone facade. It seemed familiar to me (probably because it famously featured in Indiana Jones and the last Grusade), out even so, Al Khazneh (The Treasury) took my breath away. Carved out of the vibrant rod, white and pink sandstone diff faces in 400 BC, Petra was the thriving capital of tic Nabataean arbor ation, conquered by the Romans and eventually forgotten in the desert by the Western World for hundreds of years. Our guide told us that the city’s dozens of tombs and temples, which have been looted over the years and damaged by earthquakes, had barely boon uncovered with over 85% left to be excavated! As we drove away, I watched Petra fade bock into tie rocky landscape and wondered just how many more secrets tie city had to reveal
В Emma Fenton in Alexandria, Egypt
I hadn’t intended to go diving during my business trip to Alexandria but the ruins of the Lighthouse of Pharos, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, were just too tempting. So after signing up for a dive, I got up early one morning and plunged into the arbor. 8 metres down, there are remnants of Egyptian, Greek and Roman structures, pieces of the lighthouse, ancient columns from Cleopatra’s palace as well as wrecks of Napoleon’s warships and even an Italian plane from World War II. There’s over two thousand years of history down there, including 25 sphinxes! The size of some fragments of statues amazed me; they must have been colossal on land – at least 12 metres tall! I was only underwater for an hour because the winter sea was a chilly 15°C and visibility was quite poor, but it was an unforgettable experience. I was delighted to hear that an underwater museum is now being planned to exhibit these amazing cultural treasures.
C Joe Ryles in Mesa Verde National Park, USA
I shielded my eyes from the sun and stared up at the dwellings carved out of the mountainside. The only entrance was a ladder. It’s the perfect security system – pull up the ladder and no attacker could get anywhere near! I was in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado, on a guided tour of the pueblos, the abandoned cave dwellings of the Anasazi, an ancient American tribe. Some of these diff-face communities had as many as 1,000 rooms and were up to four stories high. Our guide took us into a kiva – a subterranean chamber which stays a cool 10°C all year round. It seemed the Anasazi, a people who mysteriously vanished over 700 years ago, had discovered the answer to air-conditioning long before the western world even invented the electric fan! I took so many photographs that day that my camera’s battery ran down!
D Sally Potts in Angkor Wat, Cambodia
As I made my way through the rainforest and came across an ancient, collapsed temple, it was easy to think that I’d found a lost city! In fact, Angkor Wat was once a wealthy city of over one million people. After it was attacked by raiders, it was left forgotten and decaying in the jungle for centuries. I hired a guide for the day and sped from temple to temple on the back of his motorbike. It was incredibly exhilarating and a great way to avoid the armies of tourists and vendors at the most popular sites. It may seem like a fairytale kingdom, but the advancing jungle, along with the humidity and 3 million tourists every year, is endangering the temples. As I went back the next day to witness the sunrise over the five spires of the main temple. I noticed that reconstruction and preservation are taking place all over Angkor. This was very heartening to see.
