Lost cities

7. Tiwanaku

Located near the south-eastern shore of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, Tiwanaku is one of the most important precursors to the Inca Empire. During the time period between 300 BC and 300 AD Tiwanaku is thought to have been a moral and cosmological center to which many people made pilgrimages. The community grew to urban proportions between the 7th and 9th centuries, becoming an important regional power in the southern Andes. At its maximum extent, the city had between 15,000–30,000 inhabitants although recent satellite imaging suggest a much larger population. Around 1000 AD, after a dramatic shift in climate, Tiwanaku disappeared as food production, the empire’s source of power and authority, dried up.

Cover

The cover shows Sophie and Silveny teleporting through the void, with four places surrounding them (clockwise, starting with the top left): Havenfield, Eternalia, Foxfire, and Gildingham.

The cover of Unlocked was designed by Karin Paprocki and illustrated by Jason Chan. This is the first time that Sophie has been the sole Elvin character on the cover. Shannon Messenger said they wanted to let Sophie shine on the cover alone because Unlocked, as a continuation of the main series and a series guide/supplement, represents her journey so far. This scene is not actually in the book.

Sophie appears to be younger-looking on this cover than those of Flashback and Legacy. According to Shannon Messenger, it is to symbolise her entire journey.

Tiwanaku was once a cultural center in Bolivia

was a pre-Columbian settlement that can be found in Western Bolivia. Its original name has been lost to the ages, as its inhabitants did not have a written language. 

Tiwanaku is thought to have been inhabited by peoples who probably spoke the Puquina language. It is thought that the site was inhabited from as early as 1500 BC.

The city reached its height between 300 BC and 300 AD when it appears to have been a cultural center. Around 1000 AD, the city fell into decline and was abandoned, as climatic changes forced the inhabitants to leave.

It was first recorded by Europeans in 1549, by Spanish conquistador Pedro Leon, whilst he was searching for the Inca capital. 

Palmyra was once a very wealthy merchant city

or «City of Palm Trees» used to be an influential and wealthy city located in present-day Syria. Some archaeological finds suggest it may have Neolithic origins, but it was first mentioned in the 2nd century BC.

It was eventually conquered by various external powers, including the Romans in the 1st century AD.

The Palmyrenes were renowned and successful merchants who established colonies all along the silk road. After a brief rebellion, the city was leveled by Emperor Aurelian and partially rebuilt by Diocletian. 

It was later captured by Muslim Arab invaders in 634 AD and declined under Ottoman Rule to the point of virtual abandonment. The historic city was later rediscovered as an archaeological site by European travelers in the 17th century.

14. Vijayanagara

Vijaynagar was once one the largest cities in the world with 500,000 inhabitants. The Indian city flourished between the 14th century and 16th century, during the height of the power of the Vijayanagar empire. During this time, the empire was often in conflict with the Muslim kingdoms. In 1565, the empire’s armies suffered a massive and catastrophic defeat and Vijayanagara was taken. The victorious Muslim armies then proceeded to raze, depopulate, and destroy the city and its Hindu temples over a period of several months. Despite the empire continuing to exist thereafter during a slow decline, the original capital was not reoccupied or rebuilt. It has not been occupied since.

30. Memphis

Memphis, founded around 3,100 BC, is the legendary city of Menes, the King who united Upper and Lower Egypt. Early on, Memphis was more likely a fortress from which Menes controlled the land and water routes between Upper Egypt and the Delta. By the Third Dynasty, Saqqara had become a sizable city. It fell successively to Nubia, Assyria, Persia, and Macedonia under Alexander the Great. Its importance as a religious centre was undermined by the rise of Christianity and then of Islam. It was abandoned after the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 640 AD. Its ruins include the great temple of Ptah, royal palaces, and a colossal statue of Rameses II. Nearby are the pyramids of Saqqara.

13. Calakmul

Hidden inside the jungles of the Mexican state of Campeche, Calakmul is one of the largest Maya cities ever uncovered. Calakmul was a powerful city that challenged the supremacy of Tikal and engaged in a strategy of surrounding it with its own network of allies. From the second half of the 6th century AD through to the late 7th century Calakmul gained the upper hand although it failed to extinguish Tikal’s power completely and Tikal was able to turn the tables on its great rival in a decisive battle that took place in 695 AD. Eventually both cities succumbed to the spreading Maya collapse.

Relationships[]

Match Status: Unregistered.

TIMKIN (father)

He was in Exillium for faking a talent so he could get in the elite levels but has earned his way back. He works with unicorns, trying to earn a way into the Nobility, and he works with the Black Swan as Coiffe.

VIKA (mother)

She works with unicorns and assisted with the baby alicorns. In Legacy when Stina was made a regent her mother said, «You will make us all proud.»

SOPHIE (former enemy/friend/possible love interest)

Stina isn’t very kind to Sophie, believing Sophie is of lower social status. In Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities, she makes bets about how long Sophie will last at Foxfire (among other things) and mocked her often. She tells Biana that her and Fitz being friends with Sophie is ruining the Vacker name. In Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities, Stina is the first to tell Sophie that Biana first befriended her because Alden forced her to. In Neverseen, Stina becomes somewhat less hostile and tells Sophie that if anyone could fix things, it would be her. Stina also confesses that part of the reason why she treated Sophie the way she did was because Sophie disliked her the first day she saw her in Slurps and Burps without knowing much about her and laughed at her. She becomes closer to Sophie in Legacy, and the two share a healthy friendship.

DEX (friend/former enemy/possible love interest)

Dex and Stina have a long-running battle of mean pranks on each other that started Pre-Keeper. Dex made Stina bald and in return, Stina put a muskog in Dex’s locker. Dex also gave Stina a beard, which was added as an extra pranking feature for her in the hairoids. Stina constantly holds the fact that Dex’s parents are a bad match over his head. In Legacy, they began their partnership on Team Valiant together and started to like each other more.

MARELLA (friend/former enemy/possible love interest)

Marella used to hate Stina in Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities and Book 2: Exile books of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series but eventually became friends with her during Everblaze when Sophie didn’t really pay attention to her. However, in Lodestar, Marella is envious of her when Stina manifests as an Empath, an ability that Marella wanted to manifest in to help her mother, and pulls away from Stina as a result.

MARUCA (friend/possible love interest)

Maruca and Stina became friends after Biana started hanging out with Sophie as Maruca felt abandoned by Biana. She was also the one that told Stina the real reason Biana became friends with Sophie, which caused Sophie to temporarily break her friendship with Biana as she was very upset that Biana had lied to her about them being friends.

BIANA (friend/former enemy/possible love interest)

Biana and Stina used to dislike each other in earlier books. Stina was the one who told Sophie that Biana was only friends with her because Alden forced her to. Later in Legacy, Stina and Biana work together to help Sophie find out who her biological parents are. It is also observed by Sophie in Legacy that Biana looked «less uncomfortable» about the fact that Stina was right. These two have formed a healthy friendship through Legacy since they are both on Team Valiant.

KEEFE (Possible love interest)

Keefe and Stina used to dislike each other in earlier books, mostly because he thought she was mean to Sophie. But some people ship them together because they are both empaths.

Derinkuyu underground city was used until 1923

an ancient multi-leveled underground city beneath the present-day Dernikuyu City in Turkey. The entire complex extends to a depth of around 197 feet (60 meters) and is thought to have housed around 20,000 people at its height.

It would have been a fully functional city with livestock and food stores and is the largest underground excavation in Turkey. It is one of several similar complexes across Cappadocia with some being connected together by miles of tunnels.

Derinkuyu was carved by hand into the relatively soft, sandy, volcanic rock of the region. The ‘city’ thrived throughout the Byzantine era and was used as protection by Christians from assailing Muslim Arabs during the Arab-Byzantine wars. 

This strategy proved successful and they were used again during the Mongolian incursions of the 14th Century. When the Ottomans seized the area, the city was used on and off by locals fleeing from Ottoman reign right up to 1923.

After this time, the complex was largely forgotten until its rediscovery in 1963.

Order of events

The player can gain access to Lost City by using the key obtained in Frostbite Caves — Day 30.

After beating Day 15, the player finds a map which leads to one of the lost temples. The player survives waves of Porter Gargantuars on Day 16.

On Day 32, Dr. Zomboss tells the player to not usurp his discovery of Lost City, and he and his zombies already report their findings to the Eminent Journal Of Missing and Mislaid. After defeating Zombot Aerostatic Gondola, Crazy Dave complains that after all those discoveries he hasn’t found his taco yet, while Penny comforted him and ensured that the search will continue.

7 Xanadu: The Palace Of Kublai Khan

Photo credit: Zhenglan Qi Administration of Cultural Heritage of the site of Xanadu City

Marco Polo came back from China with some incredible descriptions of Kublai Khan’s empire. The most incredible of all, though, was Xanadu, the palace of the great khan.

Xanadu, Marco Polo said, was a marble palace surrounded by a massive, 26-kilometer-wide (16 mi) park filled with fountains, rivers, and wild animals. There, the khan kept 10,000 pure white horses in a golden palace guarded by dragons. It was, in short, a paradise unlike any on Earth.

The palace was destroyed by the Ming army in 1369, long before most Europeans got the chance to see it. As the centuries passed by, it slipped into legend. It was a place poets wrote about but was little more than the stuff of imagination.

Since then, though, the site of Kublai Khan’s palace has been uncovered, and we’ve found that Marco Polo wasn’t exaggerating. The khan’s home was twice as big as the White House, surrounded by a massive park that seems to have once held a wild menagerie of animals from around the world.

There are ramps for horses in every part of it, and it even has the dragons Marco Polo described. They’re statues sitting atop of pillars that have been painted yellow—but they’re posed exactly as he said they were.

Gordium: King Midas’ great capital

, or Górdion (pronounced Gor-di-yon) in Turkish, was the capital city of the ancient Phrygian Empire. Located in Asia Minor, it is roughly 47 miles (75 km) SW of Ankara. 

The city lies on what was once the ancient road between Lydia and Assyria that crossed the Sangarius River. Gordium’s most famous ruler was the quasi-legendary King Midas.

Gordium was sacked by the Cimmerians and subsequently abandoned in around 800 BCE but was rebuilt by the Persians.

Alexander the Great is said to have visited the city and solved the puzzle of the Gordian Knot, which said that whoever could loosen the knot would rule Asia — Alexander is said to have solved this problem by simply cutting the knot.

The forgotten city was rediscovered and excavated in 1900 by Gustav and Alfred Korte, and later by the Pennsylvanian Museum, between 1950 and 1973.

LOST CITY

불 꺼진 도시야

벗어나야 돼 여기에서 나

어둠 속에 꽃을 피워 넌

오직 너만을 따라 날아가

한 번 더 open up my eyes

난 여기에 lost

더 빨리 we go

사라져버린 hope

아무것도 아무도

안 남았어 사랑도

무엇도 하나도

숨 쉬지 못해 lost in

끝이 나지 영원일 거라 믿었던 애

쉬워 반복되는 이별에 만남은 fake

기대 쉴 곳 없이 떠돌지 난 everyday

남은 미련 없이 날아갈래 멀리에

Livin’ in my lost city

I don’t really love any

부서진 시간 속에 우린 위험해

검붉게 물든 눈 속에

옅어진 네 모습과

내 어리석은 시절에게 인사를 건네

시간이야 I let you go away

The time is runnin’ out

Go fly away

불타는 도시 여긴 위험해 no way

달아나 멀리 날아가 run away

한 번 더 open up my eyes

난 여기에 lost

더 빨리 we go

사라져버린 hope

아무것도 아무도

안 남았어 사랑도

무엇도 하나도

숨 쉬지 못해 lost in

끝이 나지 영원일 거라 믿었던 애

쉬워 반복되는 이별에 만남은 fake

기대 쉴 곳 없어 떠돌지 난 everyday

남은 미련 없이 날아갈래 멀리에

Livin’ in my lost city

You don’t really care

닿지 않는 목소리

Getting out my way

Livin’ in my lost city

I don’t really know now

나를 봐 난 여전해

Getting out my way

숨을 쉴 수 없어 여긴 길을 잃었어 다

부서져 버리지 남은 모든 건 lockdown

솔직하지 못해 작은 거 조차도 lie lie

행복하지 못해 난

떠나 널 따라가

벗어나야 돼 여기서 나

오직 너만을 따라 날아가

한번 더 open up my eyes

난 여기에 lost

더 빨리 we go

사라져버린 hope

31. Skara Brae

flickr/chatirygirl

Located on the main island of Orkney, Skara Brae is one of the best preserved Stone Age villages in Europe. It was covered for hundreds of years by a sand dune until a great storm exposed the site in 1850. The stone walls are relatively well preserved because the dwellings were filled by sand almost immediately after the site was abandoned. Because there were no trees on the island, furniture had to be made of stone and thus also survived. Skara Brae was occupied from roughly 3180 BC–2500 BC. After the climate changed, becoming much colder and wetter, the settlement was abandoned by its inhabitants.

Helike: an ancient Greek city that sank

could very well be the real Atlantis. According to Greek legend, Helike was destroyed by an enraged and vengeful Poseidon for the Helikonians’ refusal to give their renowned statue of the sea god, or even a copy of it, to Ionian Greek colonists in Asia Minor (modern Turkey).

Based on accounts of ancient sources and on recent archaeology, it is believed that an earthquake in 373 BCE caused the groundbeneath the entire city to liquefy. A tsunami then engulfed the sunken city. According to ancient sources, the city disappeared in the space of just an hour or two and there were no survivors. 

Helike was rediscovered in the 1980s by two archaeologists who had been searching for it for over a decade. It has since been partially excavated.

Calakmul’s great rival Tikal

was one of the largest Mayan cities between 200 and 900 AD, with a population of around 100,000 — 200,000 inhabitants. It is thought to have been called Yax Mutal and can be found in the rainforests of Guatemala.

It was once the capital of a state that would become one of the most powerful kingdoms in Mayan civilization. Some finds suggest the city was occupied as early as the 4th century BC, but it reached its full power during Europe’s middle ages.

The city became a victim of its own success when its demand for timber led to deforestation, erosion, and subsequent famine. Between 830 AD and 950 AD, its population plummeted and Tikal was eventually deserted. 

Tikal was reclaimed by the Guatemalan rainforest until the ruins were uncovered by European gum snappers in the mid-1800s. 

Unlocked Descriptions of Known Lost Cities[]

Splendor Plains: Elwin’s residence is just as bright and bold as his fashion sense, and every pane of his widowed walls is set with a different color of glass. But the architecture is also surprisingly sleek and modern, with a flat roof and lots of sharp angles. And while the décor is some what sparse there are plenty of «Elwin» touches-like the room holding his stuffed animal collection and the tunnels visible under the glass floor, which allow his pet banshee(Bullhorn) to scurry wherever his little heart desires. The house is bordered by forest on one side and ocean on the other, providing Foxfire’s resident physician with a variety of peaceful views to enjoy after stressful days in the Healing Center (most of which involve complicated injuries suffered by Sophie Foster).

Wanderling Woods: As the Lost Cities’ only graveyard, the Wanderling Woods is a place of peaceful silence, filled with carefully arranged, incredibly special trees. Wanderlings are planted with the DNA of someone deceased in order to grow with hints of their physical attributes. As a result, no two Wanderlings are alike, and each is labeled with a sign to indicate the life being memorialized- though there are three Wanderlings that were planted prematurely: Sophie Foster’s, Dex Dizznee’s, and Alden Vacker’s. Only elves may enter the Wanderling Woods (unless special permission is granted by the Council), and a golden sign arches over the entrance reminding visitors that «those who wander are not lost.» And while some might comment on how few trees grow in the woods-and claim it as proof that death is rare in the Lost Cities-those mourning loved ones would likely argue that there are still far too many Wanderlings.

Vinland: where the Vikings supposedly settled in North America

Vinland, Winland, or Vineland was the name given to an area of North America apparently settled by Norse Vikings in around 1000 AD. Once thought to be a myth, a Viking settlement was actually found in in Newfoundland in the 1960’s.

Before this discovery, the story was widely dismissed as pure fantasy. Interestingly, the story also told of how the adventurers fought the locals, who they called Skraelingar.

These people, it was said, dressed in white clothes and lived in caves and holes. When they attacked, they carried long poles and let out terrifying battle cries. There is no evidence for this story, but it does appear that the Viking settlement at L’Anse Aux Meadows was used as a Viking encampment for a short time, perhaps as a base for further exploration or to gather supplies.

3 Heracleion: The Drowned Egyptian City

Photo credit: Christoph Gerigk/Franck Goddio/Hilti Foundation

Heracleion showed up in almost every Greek myth. It was the city where Heracles took his first steps into Africa. It was the place where Paris of Troy and his stolen bride Helen hid from Menelaus before the Trojan War. And we had no idea where it was.

As it turned out, there was a reason we couldn’t find one of Egypt’s most important ports: It was underwater. About 2,200 years ago, Heracleion was likely hit by an earthquake or a tsunami—and it drowned.

Divers swimming off the coast of Egypt stumbled upon it in the early 2000s. They found a strange rock under the water, and when they brought it up, they realized that it was a piece of an ancient statute. They dove back in to see what else was there. Soon, they’d found full statues, jewels, and even the drowned ruins of an ancient Egyptian temple.

A massive part of the city was still intact. Divers were able to find huge steles put up as notices to visitors, warning them, in hieroglyphics, of Egyptian tax laws. They found statues of ancient Egyptian gods, still in their original form, with fish swimming around them. It was an entire lost city, pulled from the depths of the water and brought back to life.

затерянный город

в этом городе померк свет

мне нужно убираться отсюда!

ты цветок, распускающийся в темноте.

я улетаю, и лишь ты напоследок пленил_а мой взор

надеясь увидеть ещё раз, распахиваю глаза

вот он я, потерянный

всё стремительнее, набираем ход

мечты одна за другой рухнули

никто и ничто

никакой любви не осталось

даже малейшего следа

я задыхаюсь, потерявший себя

ребёнка, мечтавшего о вечности, уже нет

приветствие — ещё одно прощание,

любовь фальшива

не на что положится, тщетно ищу выход из сложившейся ситуации

оставляю багаж прошлого и улетаю отсюда.

проживая в своём затерянном городе

я на самом деле не люблю никого

разрозненное время настигает нас, мы в опасности.

сквозь налитые кровью глаза

я приветствую твоё поблекшее отражение и воспоминания о моём глупом прошлом.

позволяю времени унести все воспоминания.

время на исходе

ну же, лети

город опасен, город в огне. выхода нет

собираюсь улететь подальше отсюда, собираюсь убежать.

надеясь увидеть ещё раз, распахиваю глаза

вот он я, совсем потерянный

всё стремительнее, набираем ход

мечты одна за другой рухнули

никто и ничто.

никакой любви не осталось

даже малейшего следа

я задыхаюсь, потерявший себя

ребёнка, мечтавшего о вечности, уже нет

приветствие — ещё одно прощание,

любовь фальшива

не на что положится, тщетно ищу выход из сложившейся ситуации

оставляю багаж прошлого и улетаю отсюда.

проживая в своём затерянном городе.

тебя это нисколько не заботит

твой голос недосягаем

прочь с дороги

проживая в своём затерянном городе.

сейчас я сомневаюсь

взгляни на меня, ведь я всё тот же

а теперь, прочь с дороги

тяжело дышать, я потерял свой путь.

вcё, что осталось —разбито вдребезги. локаут

не могу быть честным даже в мелочах. всё окутано ложью, ложью

отчаливаю, потому что не могу быть счастливым здесь

но не волнуйся, я последую за тобой

я собираюсь убираться отсюда

и лишь ты напоследок пленяешь мой взор

надеясь увидеть ещё раз, распахиваю глаза

вот он я, совсем потерянный

всё стремительнее, набираем ход

мечты одна за другой исчезли

никто и ничто.

никакой любви не осталось

даже малейшего следа

я задыхаюсь, потерявший себя

ребёнка, мечтавшего о вечности, уже нет.

приветствие — ещё одно прощание,

любовь фальшива

не на что положиться, тщетно ищу выход из сложившейся ситуации

оставляю багаж прошлого и улетаю отсюда.

1. решила не переводить эту строчку дословно, так как больше склоняюсь к художественному переводу. spinning in circles every day — ежедневно ходить по кругу. как известно, в русском языке есть фразеологизм / выражение «ходить по кругу» то есть говорить обиняками, не касаясь сути дела; скрывать истинные цели общения, разговора с кем-либо; многократно повторять одни и те же схожие приёмы, не продвигаясь вперёд в делах, общении, понимании; бессмысленное возвращение к старому, давно прошедшему.

This is a poetic translation — deviations from the meaning of the original are present (extra words, extra or omitted information, substituted concepts).

Hvalsey was a Viking settlement on Greenland

, aka ‘Whale Island’, is a long-lost Viking settlement located near Qaqortoq, Greenland. It is, to date, the largest and best-preserved example of Norse ruins in what is known as the Eastern Settlement.

It was settled around 1000 AD by Norse farmers who were thought to have arrived from Iceland. The site was probably home to about 4,000 people during its height. 

The Western Settlement would be abandoned in the 14th century, with Eastern Settlement lasting a little longer before also being abandoned. 

Records exist of a wedding being held in the settlement’s church in 1408. This was the last record of any habitation of the area.

The site was rediscovered in 1721 by a Danish missionary.

The lost city of La Ciudad Perdida

According to legend, around 1,300 years ago, a people called the Tairona were commanded by their gods to found the city of along a mountaintop in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. 

They would occupy the area for almost a millennia before the Spanish arrived in Columbia. Although the two civilizations never met face to face, the Tairona were wiped out by the diseases carried by the conquistadors.

Abandoned for hundreds of years, the settlement was found by a group of bandits in the 1970s, who plundered any valuables and sold them on the black market. Forgotten for almost 500 years, the city is now once again back on the map.

4 Vinland: The Viking Land Of Plenty

Photo credit: Clinton Pierce

In AD 1073, a German cleric named Adam of Bremen spoke to the Danish king Sven Estridsson. The Vikings, Estridsson told him, had sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and found a distant land where everything grew boundlessly. “It is called Vinland,” the cleric reported, “because vines grow there of their own accord.”

He wasn’t the only one telling the story. The Vikings had been passing it down themselves, saying they’d fought with natives who lived there, whom they’d named the Skraelingar. The Skraelingar, they said, dressed in white clothes and lived in caves and holes. When they attacked, they carried long poles and charged, screaming out loud cries of war.

Vinland was thought to be a Viking myth for centuries, even after the Spanish reached the Americas. It took until the 1960s until we found out they were telling the truth. Then, at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada, archaeologists found the remains of a Viking settlement made in the 11th century—the Vinland they’d told so many stories about.

12. Palmyra

flickr/A travers

For centuries Palmyra (“city of palm trees”) was an important and wealthy city located along the caravan routes linking Persia with the Mediterranean ports of Roman Syria. Beginning in 212, Palmyra’s trade diminished as the Sassanids occupied the mouth of the Tigris and the Euphrates. The Roman Emperor Diocletian built a wall and expanded the city in order to try and save it from the Sassanid threat. The city was captured by the Muslim Arabs in 634 but kept intact. The city declined under Ottoman rule, reducing to no more than an oasis village. In the 17th century its location was rediscovered by western travelers.

11. Ctesiphon

flickr/Nick Maroulis

In the 6th century Ctesiphon was one of the largest city in the world and one of the great cities of ancient Mesopotamia. Because of its importance, Ctesiphon was a major military objective for the Roman Empire and was captured by Rome, and later the Byzantine Empire, five times. The city fell to the Muslims during the Islamic conquest of Persia in 637.
