Vanished Cities is a book written by Hermann Schreiber that explores the history of some of the world's most fascinating and mysterious lost cities. The book takes readers on a journey through time and space, exploring the ruins of ancient cities that were once thriving centers of civilization but have since been lost to the sands of time.Schreiber delves into the stories and legends surrounding these lost cities, examining the archaeological evidence that has been uncovered and piecing together the clues to try to understand what life was like in these vanished civilizations. From the ancient city of Pompeii, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, to the lost city of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, abandoned in the 15th century, the book covers a wide range of cities from different eras and parts of the world.Throughout the book, Schreiber also explores the reasons why these cities were lost, whether it was due to natural disasters, war, or simply the passage of time. He also examines the impact that these lost cities have had on our understanding of history and the ways in which they continue to captivate our imaginations today.Overall, Vanished Cities is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the mysteries of the past. With its engaging writing style and richly detailed descriptions, the book offers a compelling glimpse into the world of these lost civilizations and the secrets that they still hold.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
