Mapping the legendary city
Since 2016 a project initiated by Jane Moon, Robert Killick, and Stuart Campbell has helped lay the groundwork; recent mapping by researchers identified remains of temples, workshops, and canals across a roughly 2.5-square-mile site, even with tough weather and pollution.
Ancient accounts back up that Alexander picked this spot for its strategic location way back in 324 B.C.
This find gives us fresh insight into how ancient trade worked, and brings a legendary lost city back onto the map.
