Welcome to Lost Worlds
Where ancient civilizations and kingdoms get lost and found!

The Lost Civilizations of the World
It's hard to imagine all the civilizations, peoples, cultures that have existed throughout human history. But, scientists are re-discovering new artifacts, civilizations and cultures everyday. This means that some cultures or civilizations that exist today may not exist in the distant tomorrow. Unlike our forefathers however, we have the technology and tools to preserve cultures that flourish today, so in the distant tomorrow, no culture will truly be lost, even if it's no longer practiced.

Over the course of thousands of years, many cultures, customs, languages and civilizations have vanished from history, and few have left visible remnants of their grandeur, muchless existence. We may know that Ancient Egypt existed because its pyramids and temples have stood the test of time, and we may speculate about Atlantis, because its legacy survived in legends, as does Troy's. But how many people know of Port Royal, Ur, or Great Zimbabwe, for example?

If the United States of America suddenly vanished from the known world, it's nearly impossible to imagine that one thousand years from now no one might remember that it had existed. This is understandable because in the age of technology, America's influence has been established as living history; meaning that even after it's no longer a great empire, history will remember it like it remembers Rome.

Cultures are living things. They get born, they flourish and many vanish. America might not suffer this fate, but many before it have suffered this fate.

The purpose of this wiki is to pay homage to some of the lost civilizations. By lost, I merely refer to those cultures and civilizations that may only exist in legend or whose existence was only recently confirmed by archeologists.
