A compact illustrated survey of lost cities, vanished peoples and archaeological mysteries from around the world. James Cornell looks at more than fifteen ancient cultures and sites, combining stories of the people who built them with the explorers and archaeologists who later helped bring them back to wider attention.

A very 1970s piece of popular archaeology, covering ruined cities, remote settlements and enduring historical mysteries in an accessible style. A good fit for readers drawn to ancient civilisations, archaeology and lost-world narratives.
