Similar to other sites from Ancient Egypt, the necropolis has hundreds of rock-cut tombs dedicated to high-ranking Egyptian nobles. 6.

Spanning 2000 years of history, the preserved artifacts represent six different historical periods. 5. Bagan, Myanmar From the 9th to 13th centuries, the ancient city of Bagan was the political, economic and cultural center of the Pagan Empire.

Ani, Turkey Located on a secluded plateau of Northeast Turkey, the archaeological site of Ani features residential, religious and military structures of the city that once flourished in the 10th and 11th centuries.

Pella, Jordan Inhabited as early as 5000 BCE, the ancient city of Pella prospered during the Greco-Roman period.

Skara Brae, Scotland Known as one of Orkney's most visited ancient sites, the village of Skara Brae is considered one of the most remarkable prehistoric monuments in Europe.
