Lost Civilizations

A truly spectacular illustrated book covering twenty lost civilisations in the Americas, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. It includes Chichen Itza, Machu Pichu, Babylon, Troy, Pompeii, Knossos and Atlantis (Santorini interpretation). The strength of the book is in combining archaeological discoveries with new technologies like satellite and land-based remote sensing images. There are also intriguing computer-generated reconstructions that bring some of the old sites alive, as well as quotations from specialists who have worked at the various sites.
