13. Sanchi



Sanchi was built over the course of more than a thousand years, beginning in the third century BCE, and culminating in the 1200s. It was abandoned in the 1300s as Buddhism declined in India, and was overtaken by the jungle. In 1818, a British officer rediscovered it.

14. Hattusa



Hattusa became the capital of the Hittite Empire in what is now Turkey in the 17th century BCE. About six hundred years later, it collapsed, along with many other Bronze Age settlements in the Eastern Mediterranean regions. Based on archaeological evidence, it seems the city was gradually abandoned as the Hittite Empire crumbled.

15. Chan Chan



Chan Chan has the distinction of being the largest pre-Columbian city in South America and is located in Peru. It was built by the Chimu people in about 850 CE and remained populated until it was conquered by the Inca Empire in 1470. It's estimated that the city could support about 30,000 people.

16. Sukhothai



"Sukhothai" comes from the Sanskrit for "dawn of happiness," and this massive temple complex served as the capital of the Thai Empire for about 140 years. A modern city, New Sukhothai, is nearby, and the old city brings in many tourists. As of 2014, 193 temples have been excavated and partially reconstructed.

17. Mesa Verde



Mesa Verde in Colorado was home to generations of cliff-dwelling people known as the Anasazi. Over time, their building developed to the point where a single house might have 150 rooms. Besides their architecture, the Anasazi are also known for their mysterious disappearance by 1300, after a few hundred years of civilization.

18. Persepolis



The capital and cultural hub of the mighty Persian Empire, was massively wealthy and beautiful in its heyday. Little of that remains, though, as it was burned to the ground by Alexander the Great as revenge for the time the Persians burned the Acropolis of Athens. It remained the capital of Persia after that, under Alexandrian rule, but declined steadily over time.
