Sharing My Fascination With Lost Cities

The lost city of Atlantis has never been found. El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, has also never been found. Lyonesse is the home country of Tristan, in Arthurian legend. Supposedly it's at the bottom of the sea. Some lost cities have actually been found. It's just that they were forgotten. I have a fascination with lost cities and ancient civilizations. 

Do you find stories or legends about lost cities and ancient civilizations fascinating?
