The Legacy Beckons
A legendary port, the heart of the historic Spice Route, vanished off the grid over 3000 years ago. Historians and archaeologists hunted far and wide in search of it but to no avail.

The ancient world's greatest trading centre in the East, this legendary seaport traded in everything from spices to precious stones with the Greeks, Romans and the rest of the world.
