That's the idea: the city is so very, very old that nothing but stone (and some conveniently located, er, naturally burning torches and lava and ice deposits) remains to be seen today. All is enveloped in the...

The vein is about 20 inches long. They found it while studying a rock called Tisda...
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been widely used by the military for surveillance and reconnaissance missions—even armed combat.

Here is a small breakdown of my opinions, with the good points first so that they don't get overshadowed by the negatives.
