Lost cities

Detroit.

Petra, Jordan

If Detroit was a sovereign country it'd have the 45th largest GDP in the world

Reminder Carthage wasn't actually salted and remained one of the most important cities in the empire for hundreds of years after the 3rd punic war

You retarded fuck.+

It was razed won, his inhabitants all killed/deported, and resettled by Roman colonists.

DELANDA

Why did you make that up

After the city was razed it was declared public land and shared between natives and Roman colonists

It wasn't salted you retarded fuck
it still remained some of the most fertile land in the empire
not sure why people who know nothing about history act like experts

>natives

Yeah, berbers, not Phoenicians you dumb fuck.

>not sure why people who know nothing about history act like experts

Ask a psychologist, I'm not sure wither why you do that

>it wasn't salted

Yes, and?

It the original population was displaced either way, I've never said it wasn't resettled, elarn to read.

Came here to post this.

>post cities destroyed or abandoned
t. dumb fucks that have never been to detroit
it is neither destroyed or abandoned, only less of what it was

But Corinth was built around the Acrocorinth. The stream that ran dwon from the elevated position was supposedly where Bellerophon's Pegasus drank. That is a beautiful image, but I spent hours looking through the details of Corinth's construction for a roleplaying game and it is not accurate.

I guess that people refuse to think that one of the seats of Pentarchy is abandoned. I myself had no awareness of this fact.

>DELENDA EST

This was the most important city in the americas for a while, now hundreds of mounds no one hears about.

...

The Atrebates were early allies of Rome, and built themselves a city before the ROman occupation began. Theirs was also one the last Romano-British cities, resisting the early tides of the English invaders, rebuilding fallen structures in wood, eventually dwindling to nothing, and filling in their own wells rather than have their city taken by the English. Now all that's left of Calleva Atrebatum-- the "place n the woods" of the Atrebates-- is pic related.

Petra was never a city, those elaborate facades are just facades, there's no structures behind them.

Unironically yes.

>reconstruction

only a negro wouldn't be able to spot the humour behind those comments

>Baghdad
IT.JUST.ISNT.THE.SAME

Only city to ever deserve it

>HURR dey wuz rivals of MUH REME, therefore dey deserved to be wiped out as a race

im a white michigander
i get it, haha the great industrial capital of my state is desolate... it is already on its way back and was never 'destroyed' so it doesn't belong in this thread

It's just a harmless nigger joke. Chicago, like Babylon, was abandoned to wild animals.

you a great comedian, maybe you should try on a board that wants you though

Fuck off back to wherever you came from if you can't appreciate a good nigger joke.

>what is mexico city
by that logic Carthago still exists, because of Tunis being there now.

This.

>implying they wouldn't have done the same to Rome

> Carthago still exists, because of Tunis
I mean..technically yeah.
Tunis basically just incorporated Roman Carthage and the site is now a district.

F

Only uncivilized barbarians could have destroyed this city.

Uruk

>file name

Who here thinks Carthage got just what it was deserving?

That's what Hannibal gets for being a black man

I've never heard a negro express pride in a city like that. A neighborhood maybe.

The first two were justified.

The third one was Albion levels of perfidy.

Baal worshipper detected
PH*NECIENS GET OFF MY BOARD

It's not good though. It's the exact same bland Detroit joke over and over again.

DO IT AGAIN SALTY SCIPIO
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

At one point the largest city in the world

Numantia, Spain
One of the few pre-roman cities in Europe to have stone walls
Close to modern day Toledo (Toletum)

>Petra was never a city
Yes it was, those tombs are just the only surviving structure, it was a Nabeaten city

>tombs

There are no tombs in Petra.
