| Abstract: | This article explores the search for lost cities in various regions, including Iraq, Turkey, Korea, the English Channel, and the Pamir Mountains. It discusses the ongoing efforts of archaeologists to locate the lost city of Agade in Iraq, the second capital of the Hittite Empire in Turkey, the capital of the first Korean kingdom Gojoseon, and the island of Iktis in the English Channel. Additionally, it mentions the poorly understood ancient kingdom of Shughnān and its capital Kǔhán in the Pamir Mountains. The article also highlights the historical significance of four different archaeological sites, including fire temples in the Pamir Mountains, Anglo-Saxon settlements in the Black Sea region, the capital of the Golden Horde in the Volga Valley, and the secret capital of the Kingdom of Kaabu in Guinea-Bissau. It emphasizes the need for further research and excavation to gain a better understanding of these ancient civilizations. [Extracted from the article] |
