The Road to Ubar by Nicholas Clapp
No one thought that Ubar, the most fabled city of ancient Arabia, would ever be found-if it even existed. Buried in the desert without a trace, it had become known as the Atlantis of the Sands. Many had searched for Ubar, including Lawrence of Arabia. Then in the 1980s, Nicholas Clapp, a documentary filmmaker and amateur archaeologist, stumbled on the legend of the lost city while poring over historical manuscripts. Filled with overwhelming curiosity, he led two expeditions to Arabia with a team that included space scientists and geologists. The discovery of Ubar was front-page news across the world and was heralded by Time as one of three major scientific events of the year.
Clapp, Nicholas: - Nicholas Clapp, author, filmmaker, and amateur archaeologist, has been called by some the real Indiana Jones. He has received more than seventy major film awards including Emmys and Academy Award nominations. His published works include the acclaimed The Road to Ubar and Sheba: Through the Desert in Search of the Legendary Queen.
