Lost city of Alexander the Great is found in Iraq

Alexander the Great's'lost city' was a magical place where people drank wine and naked philosophers imparted wisdom, ancient accounts claim. Now, nearly 2,000 years after the great warrior's death, archaeologists believe this illusive city may have finally been discovered in Iraq. Experts first noticed apparently ancient remains in the Iraqi settlement, known as Qalatga Darband after looking at declassified American spy footage from the 1960s. The images were made public in 1996 but, due to political instability, archaeologists were not able to explore the site properly for years. Using more recent drone footage, experts have now established there was a city during the first and second centuries BC which had strong Greek and Roman influences.
