A day of walking along the streets of disappeared cities

October 1st is the Day of Walking the Streets of Vanished Cities. Many will now ask where to look for these disappeared cities? The answer is simple - everywhere. You do not know and cannot be 100% sure what kind of settlement was on the site of your city or village hundreds and thousands of years ago. Famous disappeared cities include Babylon, Uruk, La Venta, and Sarai-Batu. There is no need to pick up history and geography textbooks to find the exact location of these cities that have disappeared forever. You also won’t need to spend money on tickets or create complex routes to get to the ruins of the famous disappeared city. It is enough to use your imagination to try to imagine what exactly was on the site of your settlement a couple of hundred or thousand years ago. Those who are especially curious can visit the local local history museum; there will probably be information to think about what was in your city before. Celebrating is very simple - you set the framework for immersion in the forgotten past yourself. If there are archaeological sites of old cities in your locality, then you can visit them. You shouldn’t set a sumptuous table in the ruins; it’s better to come up with some old outfits, sing songs of the peoples of bygone times, and learn at least a few words from their language. This way you will broaden your horizons, have fun, and honor the memory of your ancestors. Arriving at your designated place of celebration, you can say: “Hello, City, we remember you, we are back.” If you have skills in working with graphic editors, then you can create greeting cards and send them to your friends. They will probably be interested in information about which disappeared city or town was previously in the place of your city. Accompany the postcard with a short and interesting story, so you can maintain communication and amuse your acquaintances and friends. The reasons for the disappearance of cities are almost always the same: wars, earthquakes, fires, epidemics. If humanity has not yet learned to find protection from all natural disasters, then we can easily cope with wars and economic crises. We must remember that people themselves build cities and often destroy them themselves. This holiday was also invented in order to protect existing cities from destruction by human hands.
