No problem! Here is a list of three lost cities that have been rediscovered.

1. Ebla, Syria
The ancient city of Ebla, now known as Tell Mardikh, was a major city circa 3000 BCE. Ebla's ruins are located 33 miles (53 km) southwest of Aleppo in northwestern Syria. Site excavation started in 1964 and, in 1974, led to the discovery of tablets written in the Semitic vernacular. The tablets were translated and, as verified by texts from other civilizations, confirmed that the site was the lost city of Ebla. 

2. Troy, Turkey
Excavation of the mound of Hisarlik, which archeologists believed was the ancient city of Troy, started in 1870. They soon discovered that Troy was rebuilt seven times with the first construction around 3000 BCE.  Over time, war, fire and earthquakes destroyed the city and a new Troy was constructed over the remains. The Troy of  Homer’s Iliad, unearthed in Troy VI and VII layers, was in the Late Bronze Age. The city is located on the Hisarlik mound on the Turkish Aegean and is about five kilometers away from the Dardanelles' southern entrance.

3. Mohenjo Daro, Pakistan
In Pakistan's Sindh Province, in Larkana District, archeologists discovered the remains of Mohenjo Dara in 1922. The thousand-year city existed from around 2500 BCE to 1700 BCE in the Indus Valley. The city was zoned into districts for residential and industrial use and boasted a citadel constructed on a 40-foot high platform. One great mystery of this civilization, however, remains. Scholars still have not been able to translate the language found on clay seals.
