The world, that we live in today, has drastically changed and it isn’t easy to fathom that our memories are replete with some of the long lost cities of India that have gone completely extinct and forgotten. Many of the cities, with great political, historical and cultural significance, have been abandoned. Centuries ago due to several reasons including natural calamities, wars, climate change, some cities were known and some were discovered.
Here, I have compiled an interesting list of such long lost cities that were once inhabited and have been discovered after many years, some of them are as follows :-
• Muziris, Kerala
• Hampi, karnataka
• Kalibangan, Rajasthan
• Lothal, Gujarat
• Pattadakal, Karnataka
• Dwaraka, Gujarat
• Mohenjo - daro, sindh
• Poompuhar, Tamil Nadu
It is considered that Lothal was one of India’s most important archaeological sites from the Indus Valley civilization, which extended into Pakistan now.
After many years, archaeologists discovered that these cities were washed away by progressive erosion, floods or destroyed by an earthquake. These abondoned cities were of great importance at one point in time in the history of India.
