Italy is shocked with the 6.3 moment magnitude earthquake which happened in the historical region named L’Aquila 4 days ago. They are 290 casualties, 1174 injuries and 11 missing people as the authorities noticed. Emergency workers are trying hard to save lives while the hopes are descending to save new lives because the time is passing by.

It is stated that an Italian seismologist, Giampaolo Giuliani, reported the earthquake a week before it happened, but no one listened to him. Giuliani said that he was silenced by prosecution; moreover, he stated that he was able to foresee the earthquake by looking to the increase in the spreading amount of the radon gases.

The prime minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, cancelled his trip to Russia and announced mobilization in the country. People who lost their lives in the earthquake are buried by government ceremony. May God have mercy on all those people who lost their lives in the earthquake.

Historians mentioned that it was built up 3,800 years ago, before the Maya civilization. Lost city Coral was the most magnificent city of the South America and was located on the coast of Peru, on the north of the capital Lima. Besides, this city vanished just in a night because of an earthquake.

The pyramids found in this city, especially the biggest named “Piramide Mayor”, attracted the historians’ attention for a long time. Historians said, “If that earthquake didn’t happen, the Maya civilization could not exist and the existent civilization would develop. Now, we can see how an earthquake changed the history just in a night.”

Now that a city built up before the Maya civilization, the lost city Coral, has been found, I wonder how many lost cities are there that are waiting for historians to be discovered.

P.S. You can find some rests and animations from the lost city Coral in the gallery below.
