Castles of 'lost cities' revealed in Libyan desert   MSNBC - November 7, 2011

New evidence of a lost civilization in an area of the Sahara in Libya has emerged from images taken by satellites. "It is like someone coming to England and suddenly discovering all the medieval castles. These settlements had been unremarked and unrecorded under the (Moammar) Gadhafi regime," said project leader David Mattingly, professor of Roman archaeology at the university. The fall of the regime has opened up Libya to more exploration by archaeologists of its pre-Islamic heritage.
