 There was Babel,Rhodes,Alexandria,Memphis,Troy
Where were the Hanging Gardens? Excavation of Ur continues.
Yet you don't come along an just build a successful city. Some had to have been
flops.
London I get is the 6th or8th on the site. Rome too is built and built upon itself. Look at New York. Ground Zero is on landfill from the subway digs

New Jersey seems to have found a lost town; Timberbuctu
A thriving community in the 1800's. Now it's roofs are a foot under the
ground. Sonar was used to locate it. 18 buildings.
Yet according to a history by Richard Stockton NJ had a lot of towns
that existed so long as the tall timbers for shipbuilding held out, or the
water course changed or silted.

On one route I had there was a Church at the Crossroads. Yet across Rte 80
from it was the foundation of it's original building. You'd walk right past it without
knowing;as it had been incorporated into a street abutment. The congregation for some
mystic reason changed sites in the 1820's. Underground Railroad maybe. The curator Jerry
had maps of connecting tunnels between the basements. The tunnel was lost when the
highway went through Wide Open
