Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:No one thought that Ubar, the most fabled city of ancient Arabia, would ever be found-if it even existed. Buried in the desert without a trace, it had become known as "the Altantis of the Sands." Many had searched for Ubar, including Lawrence of Arabia. Then in the 1980s, Nicholas Clapp, a documentary filmmaker and amateur archaeologist, stumbled on the legend of the lost city while poring over historical manuscripts. Filled with overwhelming curiosity, he led two expeditions to Arabia with a team that included space scientists and geologists. The discovery of Ubar was front-page news across the world and was heralded by Time as one of three major scientific events of the year. Synopsis:Buried in the desert without a trace, the lost city of Ubar became known as "the Atlantis of the Sands." The subject of a "Nova" presentation, "The Road to Ubar" recounts Clapp's exciting discovery of this amazing locale. 60 illustrations. Description:Includes bibliographical references (p. 313-328) and index. About the AuthorNicholas Clapp, a noted documentary filmmaker, has lectured on Ubar at Brown University, the University of California at Los Angeles, California Institute of Technology, the National Georgraphic Society, and the Goddard Space Center.
