Lost cities are places that were once well populated, but whose locations were later forgotten.

n 1594, Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh led an expedition to South America to find the mythical golden kingdom. He did not find the city, but he made exaggerated claims that he had upon his return.

In a few cases, there is physical proof that a city once existed. Other lost cities live only in stories.

Did the lost city of El Dorado, ruled by a king covered in gold, really exist?
