Krátky popis
A fascinating tour of cities that have been lost to history, from
the Neolithic period up to the late Roman Empire, that offers a
fresh new perspective on the roots of urban life. The ruins of
ancient Athens, Luxor and Rome are familiar cornerstones of world
history, visited by travellers from across the globe. But what
about the cities that have dropped off the map - that have been
submerged under water, or swallowed up by the sands of time? Where
are they, and what can they tell us about our past? In this
compendium of forgotten cities, Philip Matyszak explores the
trials, tribulations and triumphs they faced, revealing how people
have embarked on the shared endeavour of living together since we
first settled down 12,000 years ago.Illustrated throughout with
important artefacts, ruins and maps, Lost Cities of the Ancient
World brings to life the sites and settlements across Europe, the
Middle East and beyond that time forgot, from the sunken city of
Ropotamo in the Black Sea to the deep cave dwellings of Derinkuyu
in Turkey. Some have survived only in ancient literature, such as
the lost city of Zoar by the Dead Sea, known from the Bible but not
yet found. Others have been located, allowing archaeologists to
trace their changing fortunes through centuries of
occupation.Matyszak reveals a dynamic network of peoples and
cultures who fought and traded between themselves, exchanging
inventions, ideas and philosophies, with the result that peoples as
far apart as Catalhoeyuk in Turkey and Skara Brae in the Orkney
islands in Scotland shared much of a common heritage. By examining
the motivations that first drew people to gather and settle
together, as well as the challenges that led to their cities'
abandonment, this visually striking and often surprising book
offers us a fresh perspective on our urban origins.
