Hidden city built 5,000 years ago by lost advanced civilization discovered underneath vast desert
In 2002, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai, spotted unusual dune formations and a large black deposit while flying over the desert. That led to the discovery of Saruq Al-Hadid, an archaeological site rich in remnants of copper and iron smelting, which is now believed to be part of a 5,000-year-old civilization buried beneath the sands. Researchers have now found traces of this ancient society approximately 10 feet beneath the desert surface, hidden in plain sight and long overlooked due to the harsh environment and shifting dunes of the Empty Quarter. The Rub' al-Khali spans more than 250,000 square miles, making it the world's largest expanse of continuous sand. This discovery brings fresh life to the legend of a mythical city known as 'Atlantis of the Sands.' According to legend, the city of Ubar was buried beneath the sand after being destroyed — either by a natural disaster or, as some stories say, as a punishment by the gods.
