Ciudades perdidas

On high peaks or on remote islands, next to deserts, rivers or seas... ancient cities once prospered. Some were part of great empires; others were small and independent. Many lasted for centuries, even millennia, and underwent great changes until finally disappearing. However, in the ruins of its buildings and monuments we can find clues about its past. Who lived in those places? Why did they build the way they did? Why were these cities lost in oblivion? And who found them again? Solving these ancient mysteries begins with a simple question: What was life like before? Many of the cities covered in this book fell into oblivion. But its ruins can give us clues about the past and the extraordinary lives of its inhabitants. The beautiful relief illustrations, masterfully created with layers of cut paper, invite you to walk through these ancient cities and spend a fascinating day in the shoes of the people who lived there thousands of years ago.
