    Aztlan, the mythical homeland of the Aztecs, described as a paradisiacal island of origin from which the Mexica people began their sacred migration to the Valley of Mexico.

  • Ogygia - The Island Prison of Odysseus
    Ancient Civilizations: Lost Worlds of the Past explores Ogygia, the legendary island where Odysseus was held captive by the nymph Calypso in The Odyssey. Described as a paradise of beauty and seclusion, Ogygia represents both temptation and imprisonment. While scholars debate its possible real-world locations—ranging from Malta’s Gozo to the Atlantic Ocean—no definitive proof exists. Symbolically, Ogygia embodies the struggle between desire and destiny, as Odysseus chooses hardship over eternal comfort to return home. The legend of Ogygia continues to captivate, blending mythology, geography, and the timeless theme of perseverance.

  • Dilmun - The Ancient Paradise of Mesopotamia
    Dilmun, the ancient paradise of Mesopotamian mythology. Described in Sumerian texts as a land of purity, abundance, and divine favor, Dilmun was linked to legends such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the myth of Enki and Ninhursag. However, historical records suggest Dilmun was also a real trade hub, likely corresponding to present-day Bahrain. Archaeological discoveries, including burial mounds and temple ruins, confirm its role as a major center of commerce. Though it declined over time, Dilmun’s legacy remains influential, with some scholars drawing parallels to the biblical Garden of Eden.

  • Thule - The Farthest North Island of Antiquity
    Ancient Civilizations: Lost Worlds of the Past explores the legend of Thule, the mysterious northernmost land first described by Greek explorer Pytheas in the 4th century BCE. Said to be a place of extreme daylight variations and icy seas, Thule has been linked to locations such as Iceland, Norway, and the Shetland Islands. Over time, it became a symbol of the unknown and an inspiration for utopian myths. While its true location remains uncertain, Thule continues to captivate historians, scientists, and adventurers as a representation of humanity’s endless quest for discovery.
