520			_aNo one thought that Ubar, the most fabled city of ancient Arabia, would ever be found -- if it had even existed. Buried in the desert without a trace the lost city had become known as "the Atlantis of the Sands." Many had searched for Ubar, including Lawrence of Arabia Then in the 1980s. Nicholas Clapp, a documentary filmmaker and amateur archaeologist stumbled on the legend of Ubar while poring over historical manuscripts. His curiosity led him to arrange two expeditions to Arabia with a team that included professional archaeologists and NASA space scientists. The discovery of Ubar was front-page news across the world and was heralded by Time as one of the three major scientific events of 1992.
