1. Cliff Palace, Colorado
A place called Cliff Palace is located in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. This unique building was built by North American society in the ancient times. This unique construction design has a purpose as the cooling 
of the hot sun at the time.
of the hot sun at the time.We can not underestimate just building - building the ancient times. Sometimes, with modern technology though, is not necessarily able to produce similar buildings with similar functions as well. ancient architecture was remarkable, indicating that the attainment of knowledge at that time quite advanced
2. Akrotiri, Santorini
Minoan civilization of Crete is the name for the mythical king Minos, the labyrinth builder. There is less written material from the Minoan relics that we do not know what they call themselves.
The entire civilization that was forgotten until the turn of the 20th century. With the discovery of a large palace at Knossos rediscovered the glory of Minoa.
Dismaping famous Knossos Minoan I've included, Akrotiri on the island Santorini.Santorini, or Thera, is the home of the Thera volcano. The explosion of Thera around 1600 BC, one of the largest eruptions in history, bringing the collapse of the Minoan empire.
The discovery of Akrotiri in 1967 to clarify about the legacy of the paintings are very well maintained, which has three levels of housing and residential complexes are arranged in such a complex.
Water supply system to show people Akrotiri have access to hot and cold water, hot water derived from volcanic sources (that would destroy their civilization)

3. Pavlopetri - Yunani
The geo-archaeological sea again made great achievements with success reveal the existence of an ancient city submerged beneath the sea. The city named Pavlopetri in Greece is estimated to exist in the Bronze Age 5000-6000 years ago or 12,000 years earlier than previously thought. Interestingly, traces of the existence of the submerged city of 4-5 meters below the sea are still visible, including the ruins of buildings and objects relics such as pottery, ceramics, etc..
Experts estimate, this is the oldest city under the sea in the world have been found. "It is estimated that this submerged city is the port city. It is marked from the wreck that was nearby. The discovery of ceramic Neolithic era, is an extraordinary. The city was formerly a trade in goods and services going forward," ujar.Geo-archeology Sea Dr Nic Flemming of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. The city is still very incomplete. Building houses, roads, yards, buildings of worship, cemeteries, everything is mapped using 3-D digital equipment is the latest.
Pavlopetri was once thought to originate from the Mycenaean period (about 1680-1180 BC), from the Ancient Greek history is rich in literature and myth. From the Neolithic pottery objects newly discovered suggests this place may have been occupied since at least 2800 BC. By studying this important maritime places, researchers hope to better understand the heritage of the Greek Bronze Age.

6. Machu Picchu, Peru 
Machu Picchu - is a pre-Columbian Inca site located 2,430 meters (7970 feet) above sea level. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Cuzco and through which flows the River Urubamba.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an area for Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438-1472). Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas", probably the most familiar icons Inca World.
Incas began building estates around the year 1400 but was abandoned as the official site for the Inca rulers a century later during the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Although it is known locally, was not known by the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction and, because it is not found and plundered by the Spanish after they conquered the Incas, is important as a cultural site.

7. Pompeii, dan Herculaneum
Pompeii is an ancient Roman city in the Campania region, Italy. Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD Dust eruption of Vesuvius Pompeii hoard with everything in it led to this city lost over 1,600 years before it was rediscovered. The city stands on the site that is formed from lava flows to the north on River downstream Sarnus.
In the first century AD, Pompeii is just one of several cities located around the foot of Mount Vesuvius. This region is quite large number of residents who became prosperous because of the fertile agricultural area. Several groups around the small town like Pompeii Herculaneum also suffered damage or destruction by the eruption of Vesuvius tragedy.
founded around the 6th century BC by the people OSCI or Oscan, community groups in central Italy. At that time, the city is used as a port by Greek and Phoenician sailors. In the year 62 AD, a great earthquake destroyed Pompeii along with many other towns in Campania. In the period between the year 62 AD until the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city was rebuilt, perhaps more grandiose in the field of buildings and works of art than ever before.
In early August of 79, springs and wells dried up. Mild earthquake vibrations begin to occur on August 20, 79, and became increasingly frequent in the next four days, but the warnings were not aware of, and in the afternoon on August 24, a deadly volcanic eruption occurs. The blast destroyed the region, burying Pompeii and other residential areas. Incidentally Vulcanalia date coincided with the celebration of the Roman god of fire.
