A settlement becomes “lost” when its inhabitants abandon it. This can happen for a number of reasons - wars, natural migrations or natural disasters, but in each case time freezes in these cities, plunging him into an endless wait for the moment of exposure. Many of them were found, others were not and acquired the status of mythical. Whether real or mythical, we have compiled a list of ten lost cities that most capture the imagination of historians, archaeologists and adventurers.
The City of the Caesars is also known as the City of Patagonia, the Eternal City is a mythical city believed to be located in South America in the region known as Patagonia in the Andes Valley between Chile and Argentina. According to legend, the lost city of the Caesars was founded by shipwrecked Spanish travelers. Although it was never found, it is described as a rich, prosperous city full of gold, silver and diamonds. Sometimes described as an enchanted city that appears only at certain times.
Troy
In ninth place on the list of ten lost cities is Troy, the legendary city described in Homer's epic poem The Iliad. It was located on the territory of modern Turkey off the coast of the Aegean Sea, not far from the entrance to the Dardanelles Strait. This well-fortified city was long considered a myth until its remains were discovered by historian Heinrich Schliemann in 1870.
The Lost City of Z is a city with a complex network of bridges, roads and temples believed to exist deep in the jungles of the Mato Grosso region of Brazil. This mysterious lost city is mentioned in a document known as Manuscript 512, which is housed in the National Library of Rio de Janeiro. The document is 10 pages long and describes in great detail how the Portuguese João da Silva Guimarães visited the Lost City of Z in 1753, although its specific location is not mentioned in the manuscript. In 1925, explorer Fawcett, his son Jack and Raleigh Rymall went looking for him, and disappeared, along with several other groups searching for this city.
Petra
Petra is an ancient city, the capital of the Nabataean kingdom, located on the territory of modern Jordan in the narrow Siq canyon. It is known for its amazing architecture and was considered an important trading center in its time. After hundreds of years of prosperity, the city fell into decline after an earthquake, which partially destroyed the city's infrastructure, and after the Roman conquest of the region in 363 AD. e. As a result, it became an abandoned city, standing for many years in the desert until it was discovered in 1812 by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.
El Dorado
Eldorado is a mythical land of precious stones and gold, supposedly located in the jungles of South America. The first attempt to find the lost city of Eldorado was made in 1535 by Sebastian de Belalcazar, the last by Nicholas Rodriguez in 1775 - 1780. All attempts to find El Dorado were of great importance, since many expeditions paved new routes deep into South America.
Memphis
Memphis is an ancient Egyptian city on the left bank of the Nile. Founded in 3100 BC uh, was the capital, as well as the residence of the pharaohs, a major religious, cultural, political and craft center of ancient Egypt for many hundreds of years. And it retained its status until the emergence and prosperity of Alexandria and Thebes, after which it fell into decay and gradually collapsed. Now the lost city of Memphis is an open-air museum.
Angkor
Angkor is a region in Southeast Asia that was the center of the Khmer Empire, which flourished from approximately the 9th to the 15th centuries. It was abandoned after the invasion of the Thai army in 1431. Until the 1800s, when it was discovered by a group of French archaeologists, the city of Angkor existed in desolation. The ruins of Angkor are located in the modern Kingdom of Cambodia among the forests in the northern part of Tonle Sap, near the present city of Siem Reap. Every year, the ruins of Angkor are visited by 80,000 - 200,000 tourists, and the Angkor Wat temple is considered one of the largest religious monuments in the world.
Pompeii
Pompeii is a large ancient Roman city buried under a layer of volcanic ash after the eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79. It is estimated that Pompeii was inhabited by 20,000 inhabitants and at that time, it was considered one of the main vacation spots of high Roman society. It was discovered in 1748, after archaeological excavations at the foot of the volcano. Known as the best preserved ancient city. About 2.5 million tourists visit it annually.
Atlantis
Atlantis is a supposedly legendary island (archipelago or even continent) and possibly an ancient civilization, the location and existence of which has not been found. Atlantis was described by the Greek philosopher Plato as an island-state destroyed by a natural disaster (probably an earthquake or tsunami) about 9,000 years before the era in which he lived - that is, about 9500 BC. e. However, numerous expeditions in attempts to discover the lost city did not lead to any results.
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is the name of an architectural complex in the southern part of the modern state of Peru, built by the Incas in the 15th century. Of all the lost cities that have been discovered and explored, perhaps none is more mysterious than Machu Picchu. In 1532, all its inhabitants mysteriously disappeared. Machu Picchu was forgotten and abandoned for almost 400 years until it was discovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham on July 24, 1911. The Spanish conquistadors never reached Machu Picchu. This city was not destroyed. Neither the size of its population, nor the purpose of construction, nor even its real name remains unknown.

If you've never considered Poland as a country with something to surprise you, perhaps it's time to reconsider your opinion about it. Did you know, for example, that inviting a clergyman to the opening of a supermarket in this country is an absolute norm? And what about films in cinemas usually shown in the original language, but cartoons are always dubbed?
website I decided to find out what surprises tourists in Poland, but seems to be the absolute norm to its residents.
1. Religion is very important
The majority of Poles are very religious and go to church on Sundays. Of course, it’s possible to be an atheist, but not all your Polish friends will understand how it’s possible.
The Catholic Church greatly influences the lives of people in this country. Recently, thanks to her, a law was even passed prohibiting trading on Sundays, and from 2020 all stores, except very small ones, will be closed on this day of the week. Now you can still go shopping on the first and last Sunday of the month.
On the other hand, religiosity has at least one important advantage, which impresses even atheists when they find themselves in Poland. Catholic churches, of which there are a lot in this country (there is even a joke that they are like convenience stores), are really very beautiful.
2. It is important to remember about religious holidays
If you don't want to feel like a character from the movie 28 Days Later, walking through empty city streets, don't plan your trip to Poland when locals celebrate church holidays. These days, Poles prefer to visit churches and spend time with family. This also applies to workers in shops, cafes, restaurants and even museums.
A tourist in Poland on such days will most likely be bored. Although even a walk along the cobbled streets of cities is already interesting. Just buy food the day before so you have enough energy to get around to everything you have planned.
3. You can register your marriage in a church
There are two ways to register a marriage in Poland: by contacting the registry office or by going through a wedding ceremony in a church.
If lovers choose the second option, then they don’t need to go anywhere else. This is how a so-called concordat marriage is concluded, which is equivalent to an official one and has the same legal consequences: the spouses have rights and obligations towards each other, and property in the event of a divorce will have to be divided.
4. Losing weight is a very difficult task.
Polish cuisine is very tasty and filling. Many of them are specific (for example, flaki - tripe soup), and not every foreigner dares to try them. But Polish cuisine also has many delicacies that are difficult to refuse. For example, in the Tatras they cook pork stewed in beer, and in Silesia they cook kartachi, dumplings stuffed with meat and mushrooms.
Polish cafes usually serve huge portions of food. Often second courses come immediately with a side dish. Small establishments are common where food is sold by weight: you simply choose whatever you want, and then weigh your plate.
5. You can buy borscht from a coffee machine
In Poland, red borscht is simply beetroot broth. It is served with ears - small dumplings filled with mushrooms, meat or even cereals. And sometimes they simply drink it from cups or glasses. By the way, you can even buy it in some coffee machines.
If you want a hearty and tasty beetroot borscht with meat, don’t worry, because it’s also available in Poland. It is served in many cafes and restaurants. Just note that you need to order not red borscht, but Ukrainian.
In Poland, the love for pets has reached a new level. There are a lot of dog lovers in this country who walk their pets in parks. In hot weather, bowls of water are often placed outside stores for animals. And this is done specifically for dogs (although, of course, cats or ferrets are also not prohibited from drinking from them), who went for a walk with their owners.
By the way, about walks. It is mandatory to clean up after your pets in Poland, because otherwise you will have to pay a fine. In cities there are special stands with bags and waste bins. And in Warsaw there is even an unusual urinal - the creative column in the photo above.
It is quite difficult to find a stray animal in Poland. If you succeed, you need to call a special service - the police eco-patrol. His employees will come and take the poor fellow to the shelter, where he will be washed and fed, and then he will be given all the necessary vaccinations, microchipped and sterilized. Then the animal will wait for a new owner as long as necessary.
By the way, ecopatrol employees often have to catch wild animals that find their way within the city limits. After a veterinary examination, they are released into their natural habitat.
7. You can’t just go to the cinema and watch a film in Polish.
Usually in cinemas films are shown in the original language with Polish subtitles. The exception is cartoons and children's films; they are duplicated. So, if you suddenly find yourself in Poland on the days when the release of a Hollywood film that you did not want to miss begins, feel free to go to the cinema. If you know English well, of course.
8. In winter, the main problem is smog
A huge disadvantage of many Polish cities is that they are shrouded in winter. The reason is that old houses still have stove heating. When the air temperature drops, its quality rapidly deteriorates. Polish authorities say they are trying to solve the problem, but residents admit that they have not yet seen much success.
The problem is most acute in Krakow and Wroclaw. There is smog in Warsaw too. The cleanest cities are Szczecin and the Tricity (Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot). The last three settlements are located near the Baltic Sea, and the wind usually simply blows away the smog, preventing it from accumulating over residential areas.
9. It’s hard not to hear the sirens of emergency vehicles.
Sirens of Polish emergency vehicles (ambulance, police and fire) loud. Very loud. It is possible that when driving they are always allowed to pass on the roads. But there is an opinion that this is necessary so that the Poles can see, or rather hear, where their taxes “go”.

But Annibal did not foresee one thing - a meeting with Feyre, who found herself under the protection of Palladio, a meeting with a woman - not only equal to him in intelligence, but also capable of teaching him to love.

A week ago I visited the capital of the Altai Mountains Republic - Gorno-Altaisk. Actually, the purpose of my visit to this small city with a population of 50,000 people was a master class on photography, which I was offered to read within the walls of the Gorno-Altai State University. Actually, because of this, I was unable to attend the main task of the project, and I had to leave the project (I will write about this later).
I first visited this city in the late 90s of the last century. Then I was passing through Lake Teletskoye and did not pay attention to Gorno-Altaisk. On this visit, despite the 30-degree frost, we were able to see a little of the city. Actually, a few pictures with comments.
01. Gate of Gorno-Altaisk - the bus station greets those who come here with colorful national panels on the wall and wooden panels on the railings.
02. It seems that they are ready to welcome and provide service to foreign tourists. Watch repair stand. The inscription on it is in three languages: Russian, Altai and English. 
03. Billboards on the streets remind you that there are elections on September 14th. And among the snow in December they look a little ridiculous. 
04. There are few people on the city streets at minus 30. Many young people were spotted in the food court of a local shopping center eating pizza, French fries and other unhealthy food. 
05. View of the drama theater from the food court of the local shopping center. Outwardly, for some reason, it reminded me of a mausoleum. 
06. The central square and the tallest building in the city (which I saw) is the 9-story building of justice. 
07. For public festivities in the warm season, there is a non-demountable stage here. On the day of my stay there was a poster for a concert of a local star. 
08. The park next door is decorated with colorful national wooden sculptures. 
09. And in front of the entrance to the main building of the Gorno-Altai State University there is a bust of the great Russian poet performed by Zurab Tsereteli. 
10. The university itself is undergoing renovations in full swing, causing minor inconvenience to students and teachers. 
11. In general, my mastar class was held as part of the three-day Pero journalism school. Actually, based on the results of this three-day school, a special issue of the student newspaper should be published. 
12. And here is the ad that I saw on the front page of the local press. Looks like someone was lobbying for something...
13. One of the active listeners of my master class is Vera Pashinina. I recommend subscribing to her instagram
.
14. As part of a practical assignment, I organized a mobile photography competition for students. So on VK and Instagram you can find the works of my listeners under the hash tag #photopero. 
15. As practice has shown, in the age of gadgets, mobile photography captivates students. By the way, Vera won.
Deerfield is a historic town, where old houses from 200-300 or more years ago have partially turned into museums, and partially live as if nothing had happened (the count is not even in the tens, but in the hundreds). In general, Massachusetts is an amazing place. You look into the next street, and there is an ordinary residential building marked “1736” and the details of the first owner.
A broker friend says that in such houses not only the facade, but often the windows, doors, stairs and railings are completely authentic. What can we say about furniture and parquet floors! Wide boards made of ship pine trees, noble wood species, antique Dutch mirrors - beauty and that’s all. And all this was so carefully preserved that one wonders with what reverence they treat history here.
However, I'll start from the beginning.
The first settlers appeared here a long time ago - in 1673. Their life was by no means easy: on the left were French Canadians, on the right were Indians, in front and behind - a wonderful mixture of the first and second, united in a gambling pursuit of the poor English heads.
It was simpler with the Indians: they killed men and mostly spared women, especially young ones - the tribes needed new blood and working hands. The French massacred everyone, being crueler than any other redskin.
Some houses were burned to the ground. But the stubborn Anglo-Saxons returned and rebuilt them. Therefore, some of the houses (small) are restored. About 200 years ago.
Each house has a guide, many of them are willing to give a tour of the house, many of them - tadammm! - professor of history. Retired. A typical picture for North America: all guides, without exception, are volunteers. And they work solely for the love of art.
For example, in the house of Jonathan Ashley, an important person and respectable citizen, there is a brilliant tour guide. He is about 80 years old, but from the first sentences you notice his professional work with the audience: the most interesting encyclopedic details, excellent diction, emphasis or a joke where necessary. And all this is easy, openwork, exciting. "Are you a historian?" - the physicist is interested.
- University of Florida, retired professor of anthropology. - the guide smiles, deftly circling between fake Chinese porcelain and copper stove utensils.
Such altruism definitely deserves applause. We are profusely grateful.
Unfortunately, you cannot take photographs in the houses (apparently, the sale of postcards and catalogs somehow covers minor repairs and the work of the cleaners).
But we managed to do it a couple of times (a couple of handsome Americans were the first to start!).
Of course, these are not living rooms with gilded mirrors, flirty French wallpaper and precious carved chests from 300 years ago. Not bedrooms, with hand-embroidered canopies and a lady's hat thrown coquettishly on the table. And the kitchens are not even filled with all sorts of interesting things. But let it go.
View from the window:
It is interesting that the Puritans were not at all alien to such human weakness as show-off vanity. They tried to paint the living rooms with fabulously expensive blue paint, but practically covered the kitchens with cheap red paint. Chinese porcelain was rather crudely counterfeited by Dutch craftsmen, and silverware was imitated by alloys of lead and tin.
In the house of George Washington himself (not in Deerfield), panels of cheap wood were hand-painted with noble cracks to make the wood seem more expensive).
But I can’t tell you what kind of painted chamber pots the local ladies had!
Gunsmiths in ancient costumes hang out in front of one of the houses. The old peroxyline gunpowder required special care from the gunsmith, so the barrel was drilled with amazing precision for those times and technologies. The cost of such a firearm was indecent.
Oh, where are you, Nathaniel Bumpo!
The sun is hot like summer.
One of the houses invites you to prepare authentic pies and cookies. Of course, the whole honest company of us piles in there.
Chinese theoretical physicists are studying the American stove, yeah.
We are told about how difficult the everyday life of a simple American woman was in those days when she was not driven away by the Indians, what efforts it took to achieve the right temperature to prepare a pie or soup, how water was carried and what spices were used. Did you know that gerbera perfectly replaces saffron (not in aroma, but in color), and fern leaves are amazingly good in pickles?
It’s interesting that the sugar we were used to was obscenely expensive and was imported by such heads.
But the local orchards produced so much fruit and maple syrup that there was no shortage of sweets.
The lovely ladies in the pictures above bake pies according to the recipes of the first settlers. And they are wildly proud of their difficult but extremely exciting hobby.
The fireplace glows so comfortably that you really don’t want to leave it. But jaaaarko.
The cookware is cast iron. You tinker with this one and you don’t need any rocking chairs.
In one of the houses, decorated with paintings by the best Boston artists and pastels by the owner, we are greeted by a smiling elderly Polish woman from the old-timers.
And again, an aerobatics lecture about the social life of the local nobility (yes, the Puritans were also no strangers to social events, balls and other events). We actively participate in the conversation.
“Oh, how interested you are in history, how well read you are!” the Polish woman (also a professor, so you don’t doubt it) wets her eyes, “Are all Russians like that?” We did not specify that the question was asked to two Soviet-trained theorists and two philologists with honors. Let them at least somewhere think well of Russians.
At the end of the tour, the guide asks us to sign the guest book - reviews are so rarely left! If we had known earlier, I would have riveted memoirs in every house: it’s a small thing for us, but it’s nice for the guides.
By the way, about the Russians.
People often ask here: “Where are you from?” I noticed that, despite the pathological politeness, the mention of “Russia” causes slight wariness among some natives. And then I fly in with my lively “Ukraine!”
Everyone smiles, the tension subsides.
I picked up obsidian arrowheads as souvenirs from a local souvenir shop,
and we went to have a bite to eat at a local restaurant - a very young tavern, opened only about 150 years ago.
A wonderful onion soup (the right rich tea color, with translucent oven-simmered onions, topped with a delicious Parmesan crust on toast) cost $6. French fries with white truffle and parmesan too.
While the group was ordering beer, I was daydreaming about white wine.
- Can I see your ID, ma'am? - The waitress smiled cordially.
“It’s okay,” I rolled my eyes, “I’m 35, but I forgot my license.”
And what do you think? Not allowed! No 35 years, no wine. This is called "control". I respect you.
I was satisfied with the tomato juice. Under general jokes.
But they allowed me to pour wonderful hot cider with cinnamon in a nearby shop without any ID.
Our next stop was Deerfield Academy - a private school from the local collection of “especially prestigious”, in which more than one American senator and even one King of Jordan studied.
Tuition at the Academy costs about $50,000. Tariffs are higher for foreigners and sheikhs.
Student shacks of God knows how old.
I don’t know how they teach there, but the place is wonderful.
The public is getting ready for Halloween.
It's late (16:30), the museum closes. But we didn’t even look at half the houses!
The Siamese cat from Ashley's house purrs imposingly after us.
Leaving Deerfield, I see the legendary giant pumpkins weighing 200-300 kg being unloaded at some houses.
Oh, what are you doing!
We don’t have time to get to the Butterfly Museum, but we do have time to go to the eternal kingdom of candles and the Yankee Candle holiday.
But that will be a completely different story...
I almost forgot)
Happy Columbus Day, America!
