Lost Cities: Vanished Civilizations That Still Haunt Us

Skygaze unearths the world's most enduring enigmas - cities built, abandoned, and swallowed by time

Atlantis: Plato's Sunken Metropolis

First described by Plato around 360 BC, Atlantis is said to have been a powerful island civilization that sank into the sea "in a single day and night of misfortune." Was it allegory, or did a real place inspire the myth? Countless theories place Atlantis in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, even Antarctica - yet no definitive ruins have been found.

Petra: The Rose City Carved in Stone

Hidden in Jordan's desert canyons, Petra was a thriving trade hub for the Nabataeans until it faded into obscurity for over 1,000 years. Rediscovered in 1812, its intricate temples and tombs carved into red rock astonish visitors. What caused its collapse - earthquakes, drought, or changing trade routes?

Palenque: The Jungle-Wrapped Mystery

Deep in the rainforests of Chiapas, Mexico, Palenque was once a brilliant Mayan city of art, astronomy, and architecture. Abandoned around 800 AD, it was lost under thick jungle for centuries. Its hieroglyphs continue to be decoded, revealing a complex royal lineage and unexpected technological skill.

Ur: The Cradle of Civilization

Located in modern-day Iraq, the ancient Sumerian city of Ur is among the oldest known urban centers, dating back to 3800 BC. Once home to towering ziggurats and complex societies, Ur mysteriously declined. Was it climate change, river shifts, or political collapse that buried this foundational city in the sands?

Why Cities Vanish

From natural disasters to conquest, disease to environmental collapse - lost cities often fell silently, leaving behind whispers in stone. Some may yet lie beneath jungle canopies, ocean depths, or layers of modern construction. Skygaze invites you to reflect on these urban ghosts and the civilizations they once held.
