Humans can only see a fraction of the light spectrum which limits what we we believe to what we see. Illusions and magic tricks perplex us because we only see half of that whih is happening in front of our eyes. Now what if I said I could make an ancient city appear out of thin air? Would it be magic, an illusion or possibly just utilizing more tools than nature has blessed us with.
This image is taken from a satellite which can capture much more of the spectrum than the visual light we see.
"For 3,000 years the city of Ubar thrived on the edges of the Rub' al-Khali. But by 300 AD it had vanished from history, swallowed by the desert's infamous sands. It remained hidden until 1992, when orbital radar revealed a web of paths (seen in red) etched across the desert: three millennia of caravans had stamped their mark on the land, and in this case all roads led not to Rome, but to Ubar."
