Lost Cities and Vanished Civilizations
Lost Cities and Vanished Civilizations is a
1962 book by
Robert Silverberg that deals with the then-current
archaeology studies of six past civilizations. The book is divided into six chapters, and each deals with a particular civilization:
Pompeii,
Troy,
Knossos,
Babylon,
Chichen Itza, and
Angkor Wat. Silverberg also deals with the historical search for the past through the life works of archaeologists such as
Heinrich Schliemann and
Henry Rawlinson.
