Lost city from ancient civilisation discovered in Libya

University of Leicester archaeologists have made an astonishing find that could re-write history.
The fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya has provided archaeologists with the opportunity to explore the country's pre-Islamic heritage fully for the first time.
Using satellites and air-photographs to identify the remains in one of the most inhospitable parts of the desert, a British team led by the University  of Leicester has discovered more than 100 fortified farms and villages with castle-like structures and several towns, most dating between AD 1-500.
