For as long as there has been history, civilizations have been at the forefront. Thriving cities across the world flourished, each with unique social structures, artistic production, languages, and religions. Recorded history can only report so much on these peoples, and many cultures have been lost to time over the last millennium. Yet each of them left behind an impact in the world, from the religious temples of the Ancient Mayans to the philosophy of the Myceans and even the technology of the Indus Valley. Each one has shaped society today, and as historians continue to speculate the cause of their disappearance, we are left to wonder: who were these people, why did they flee their fortresses, and what have they left behind that can tell us a little about their way of life? Archeologists and professionals have long been baffled by many of these civilizations, which are long gone but not forgotten.
