10 mysteriously vanished civilizations
Believe it or not, humanity may disappear in a few years. And it won't be the first time a substantial civilization simply disappears from the face of the Earth. Culture that ruled for centuries, was destroyed by the wars, climate change, disease, invasions of barbarians, and even volcanic eruptions. And there are those of civilization, whose disappearance scientists simply can't explain.
Clovis
11 500 BC.
North America
It is believed that the people of this civilization came from Siberia to Alaska across the Bering Strait by the end of the last ice age. Archaeologists are still arguing about whether the Clovis first civilization of this continent. We only know that she died very quickly. Predators? Unknown science of the disease? Or just assimilation with other tribes? It is not clear.
Trypillian culture
5500-2750 BC
Ukraine and Romania
Tribe Cucuteni-Tripolye had up to 15,000 members — a huge community that has disappeared from the face of the planet overnight. The culture of Cucuteni-Trypillia stands out for its ceramics. Scientists have discovered that due to a strange habit of members of the tribe to destroy your village when you move to a new location.
The Indus valley civilization
3300-1300 BC
Pakistan
This is one of the most important ancient civilizations. But scientists know very little about the people of the Indus — mainly because they still can't decipher their language. We know that the Indus people built hundreds of cities and villages, including Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. Apparently, civilization without class society and private army are very good at astronomy, and agriculture — and then just disappeared
The Minoan civilization3000-630 BC
Crete
The Minoan civilization was only discovered in the early 20th century. Legendary palaces of Knossos, centre of the legend of king Minos, their handiwork. It is believed that the Minoans were destroyed in the eruption of the volcano on the island of föhr. The Minoan civilization is one of the greatest of the lost civilizations that existed ever.
The Mayan civilization
2600 BC — 1520 BC
Central America
The Mayan civilization is a classic example of the mysterious vanished culture. Its greatest monuments, cities and roads were absorbed by the jungles of Central America, and the population vanished, dissolving into other tribes.
Mycenaean civilization
1600-1100 BC
Greece
Unlike the Minoan, Mycenaean culture flourished not only through trade. The war machine of the Mycenaeans have processed almost all of Greece, the Empire lasted almost five centuries before disappearing. It is not clear why this happened: earthquakes, barbarian invasions or internal strife.
The Olmec civilization
1400 BC
Location: Mexico
It is believed that the Olmecs were the first who developed a system of writing. They probably invented the compass and the calendar. The Olmecs did not avoid casualties, and destroyed the civilization as modern historians believe.
The Nabataeans
600 BC
Georgia
We know almost nothing about this vanished culture. Nabataean civilization flourished thanks to trade and a good location are missing, with time, due to the constant barbarian raids.
The Empire Of Axum
100 BC
Ethiopia
Legend has it that the Empire of Axum — home of the famous Queen of Sheba. Axum was an important trading centre, exporting ivory and gold into the Roman Empire and India. It was a rich society and the first African culture to have developed its own currency.
