What We Can Learn From the Ruined Cities of the World



I've always been interested in ruined cities, from those buried in the sands of Egypt to those like this one in the jungles of Belize.

For beyond the thrill of exploring them, I'm fascinated by what they tell us about the follies of humanity.

And what we can learn from them, at a time when the very survival of the planet is threatened.

Especially the lesson that when we challenge nature, we can only LOSE.
