What Archaeological Sites Used To Actually Look Like

Our planet, over its 4.5 billion-year history, has seen dramatic changes, from the rise and fall of dinosaurs to the evolution of human civilizations. Today, ruins around the world serve as echoes of these past societies. Notable among them is Machu Picchu, the Incan citadel hidden in Peru's Urabamba River Valley, discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. Similarly, the Colossus of Rhodes once stood tall in Greece before an earthquake brought it down. Pompeii, buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, remains astonishingly well-preserved. Hadrian's Wall in England, a Roman fortification, still captures imaginations. These ancient sites, despite their ruins, offer a fascinating glimpse into history’s grandeur.
