Yes, I am not surprised, life repeats itself, is a continuous cycle and like humans, cities and civilizations are born and die, to have new ones do the same, and every civilization has to learn anew, what others already knew.

Mysterious 4,000-year-old lost city discovered

A team of French archaeologists has located the remains of a lost ancient city in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Over the course of six excavations between 2012 and 2018, researchers uncovered the ancient city at Kunara near the Zagros mountains. Previously, experts had been prevented from exploring the site near the modern city of Sulaymaniyah by Saddam Hussein’s regime and conflicts in the region.

The discovery is described in the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) journal.

Located on the western border of the Mesopotamian Empire, the city may have been an important center of an ancient mountainous people known as the Lullubi, according to experts.

Large stone foundations were discovered at the site, which dates to around 2200 B.C. Dozens of clay tablets covered with cuneiform writing were also found, shedding light on the city’s agriculture. For example, the first of the clay tablets discovered records the delivery of different types of flour.

The archaeologists' research indicates that the city’s demise occurred about 4,000 years ago when it was ravaged by fire.

However, the city’s name is still unknown. Further excavation of the site will take place in the fall.

Ancient sites in other parts of the world are also revealing their secrets. Last year, archaeologists in Greece located the remains of a lost city believed to have been settled by captives from the Trojan War.

Separately in 2018, archaeologists in Western Mexico used sophisticated laser technology to discover a lost city that may have had as many buildings as Manhattan.

In 2017, archaeologists harnessed spy satellite imagery and drones to help identify the site of an ancient lost city in Northern Iraq.

The Qalatga Darband site overlooks the Lower Zab river at the western edge of the Zagros Mountains, is part of a historic route from ancient Mesopotamia to Iran.

Experts recently created a stunning digital reconstruction of a centuries-old lost city discovered in South Africa. In another project, researchers have shed new light on the events that led to the demise of the ancient Cambodian megacity of Angkor.

New Ancient Artifacts Documentary 2018 Inexplicable Discoveries That Will Leave You In Awe

Artifacts provide some of the most fascinating discoveries with respect to our ancient history. Despite uncovering many of the secrets of our past, there is still so much that has either been omitted or forgotten and much of what we have uncovered is still shrouded in mystery. Historians and archaeologists often unearth objects and information they do not expect - and sometimes these discoveries are bizarre, baffling, or at least controversial. Some of them have the potential to rewrite the history of humankind because they show that human existence goes far back into earth history and prove that the history we have been taught may be wrong.

Winter solstice 2018 in Northern Hemisphere 

The actual moment of the solstice will occur around 10.23pm in the UK, but most people concentrate on the whole solstice day, which has been recognised by holidays and festivals in many cultures all over the world.

The shortest day lasts for 7 hours 49 minutes and 41 seconds in London, UK. This day is 8 hours, 49 minutes shorter than the June Solstice. 

Today, people from the UK and beyond visit the ancient site of Stonehenge to celebrate the winter and summer solstice. One reason why this is a popular site to visit is that you can glimpse the sun’s rays through the stones which are lined up with the path of the sun. Most people arrive late on the night of solstice to catch the sunrise and while both solstices are celebrated by modern day religions and tourists alike, the ancient civilization that first built the monument most likely did so primarily for the winter solstice, perhaps to request a good growing season in the year to come. The main features of the Stonehenge site date from the centuries around 3500 BC
