A cobblestone path spirals up to a sacred land.
Within the walls lies a bustling city--
with merchants and traders telling stories.

Years go by until an intruder arrives.
An imperialistic attitude--
leads to the demise of a civilization that had thrived.

An ancient wonder remains behind.
Waiting to be brought back to life--
it sits hiding above the sky.

History revived.
An unknown land discovered again--
telling stories of an ancient wonder.

Curiosity thrives.
An ancient city survives--
telling the stories of prior times.
