This article is about three mysterious and fascinating ancient places around the world. The first one is the lost city of the desert, which was discovered by a pilot with the Royal Air Force in 1944.
From high in the sky, he saw what looked like a small town in the middle of the Arabian Desert, but nobody has been able to find it since. The second location is Petra, an ancient city in southern Jordan that was carved out of solid stone by the Nabataeans over 2,300 years ago.
Despite being partially excavated, very little is known about the Nabataeans, who may have built Petra as a temple for an unknown sun god. Finally, the article mentions the Serpent Mound in the United States, which was built by early Native Americans over 2,000 years ago.
The purpose of the mound, shaped like a serpent, and the identity of the tribe that built it are both shrouded in mystery, with some suggesting a connection to the plumed serpent worshipped by the Maya and Aztecs. The article concludes by mentioning a recent discovery of an ancient settlement in England used by primitive hunter-gatherers in the Stone Age.
The site, once located on the shore of an island in the center of an ancient lake, was uncovered during excavations and revealed artifacts that suggest the prehistoric people of England viewed the animals they hunted as sacred.
