Synopsis:
The most fabled city in ancient Arabia was Ubar, but like Sodom and
Gomorrah, Ubar was destroyed by God for the sins
of its people. Buried in the desert without a trace, it became known as
"the Atlantis of the Sands". Now, in one of the most
entertaining stories of scientific discovery and archaeological
investigation ever written, Nicholas Clapp recounts the
rediscovery of this ancient lost city. 60 illustrations Subject of a "Nova"
