History is full of blank spots. Places where we have lost knowledge we once had, because it was not recorded, because it has been broken, because it was removed from the records.
This is where the Museum of Lost Cities exists. This Museum is dedicated to not just presenting what we know of history, but to highlighting the things that we can’t know — may never know.
In other words, yes, my PhD project has finally gotten off the ground!
The Museum opens with an exhibit titled ‘Eurymachia’, exploring late Bronze Age Greece. Apparently, a new dig site has been found on an island off the coast of Greece that may shed more light on the Bronze Age Collapse. The Museum of Lost Cities has worked with the archaeologists at the site to put together a virtual exhibit showcasing some of the finds from the site, even before most of the archaeological community have had a chance to put together what it all means.
I’m super excited to show this off to everyone. The exhibit opens for a first tour this weekend (Saturday 30th, 6pm AEST), and then as a general exhibit starting this Monday.
All the details are on the Museum of Lost Cities website. There’s a teaser trailer on Instagram, too, if you want a bit more of a visual.
Hope to see some of you there! This is gonna eat my entire next two years, so yeah … there’s going to be a lot on this blog about it.
Whimsy and Metaphor 
This sounds like a great idea. Unearthing lost metropolises would make for a neat series of YouTube videos. Good luck with your PhD program.
On a side note, I visited The Museum Of Lost Cities website and tried viewing the blog, but I was taken to a completely blank page. I don’t know if that is intentional. I assume that you would like to know.
Oh, thank you for letting me know! Those links should be fixed now, but I’ll double check and make sure it’s all set up right 🙂
