The most fabled city in ancient Arabia was Ubar, described in the Koran as the many-columned city whose like has not been built in the whole land. But like Sodom and Gomorrah, Ubar was destroyed by God for the sins of its people. Buried in the desert without a trace, it became the Atlantis of the Sands. The story of its destruction was retold in The Arabian Nights Entertainments (first published in the New World in 1797 as The Oriental Moralist by an ancestor of Nicholas Clapp's).
