The Road to Ubar: Finding the Atlantis of the Sands Tapa blanda - 1999

de Nicholas Clapp

Buried in the desert without a trace, the lost city of Ubar became known as "the Atlantis of the Sands." The subject of a "Nova" presentation, "The Road to Ubar" recounts Clapp's exciting discovery of this amazing locale. 60 illustrations.


Resumen

No one thought that Ubar, the most fabled city of ancient Arabia, would ever be found-if it even existed. Buried in the desert without a trace, it had become known as "the Altantis of the Sands." Many had searched for Ubar, including Lawrence of Arabia. Then in the 1980s, Nicholas Clapp, a documentary filmmaker and amateur archaeologist, stumbled on the legend of the lost city while poring over historical manuscripts. Filled with overwhelming curiosity, he led two expeditions to Arabia with a team that included space scientists and geologists. The discovery of Ubar was front-page news across the world and was heralded by Time as one of three major scientific events of the year.
