The Perfect Roman City the Empire Forgot

In the mountains of northern Algeria, buried under twelve centuries of sand, there is a Roman city so perfectly preserved that when archaeologists uncovered it in 1881, they found streets still intact, a library still standing, public baths, a theatre, and a forum with an arch that hadn't moved since the second century. Timgad was built in a single year by a single Roman legion. It was designed from scratch as a perfect grid. And then the empire that built it collapsed, the desert came, and for twelve hundred years nobody knew it was there. #AncientHistory #LostCities #Timgad #RomanEmpire #Algeria #Archaeology #SleepDocumentary #AncientRome #LostCivilization #HistoryDocumentary
