Locraft's story "the Temple". Read it! On August 20, 1917, I, Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, Lieutenant-Commander in the Imperial German Navy and in charge of the submarine U-29, deposit this bottle and record in the Atlantic Ocean... :eek: http://www.yankeeclassic.com/miskatonic/library/stacks/literature/lovecraft/stories/temple.htm

The archaeologists learnt of the structures after locals reported spotting a temple and several sculptures... :eek:

The snow is falling quietly outside casting a deathly pallor over all the usual scenery. As i review this story again in my quiet office, a chill raises the hair on my neck as I contemplate the unknown aeons which preceeded our Aryan ancestor's emergence from Hyperborea... who knows how many deep and wicked cults preceeded our the humanlike gods of our ancestors, how many gibbering mostrosities, now sunken far beneath the tides, what Olde Ones may yet be freed from their cosmic bonds and one day ooze to the surface vomiting forth hideous blasphemies.....

Its great that Lovecraft could articulate the sounds of someone being sick and turn it into unique gothic horror. :p

In real history the names Ibbit-Lim Irem U'bar back up Lovecrafts Mythos.

Recent discoveries have brought Lovecrafts Ubar the home of the Necronomicon out of the realm of myth into history. Archaeological tablets found in the archives of Ebla in Syria were found to mention Irem (Ubar) by name. In 1964, Italian archaeologists began excavating at Ebla finding a statue dedicated to the goddess Ishtar bearing the name of Ibbit-Lim, a king of Ebla. That identified the city, long known from Egyptian and Akkadian inscriptions as Irem/Ubar by name. Incidentally the Izzy's antiZOG manual the Koran also mentions Irem/Ubar.

When photographs taken of the Persian Gulf Coast from the Challenger spy shuttle revealed a number of buried cities along the ancient frankincense trade route between 2800 BC and the Roman era. One, located on the eastern edge of Dhofar proved to be a city known as Ubar identified with Lovecrafts tales.
