ANSWER: Qalatga Darband
 
Lost city founded by Alexander the Great discovered in Iraq!Archaeologists have discovered a city in Iraq, that is thought to have been founded by Alexander the Great, and is 2,000 years old.

Researchers at the British Museum in London used drones to find the remains of Qalatga Darband, a fortified settlement in northern Iraq, that went unrecorded in history.

It is early days, but scientists think it would have been a bustling city on a road from Iraq to Iran.

Statues of Greco - Roman deities and terracotta roof tiles show a strong Greek influence, indicating that its early residents were Alexander’s subjects and those of his successor, researchers said.
