I grew up reading stories of lost cities of gold and all that, so when satellite maps became more common in the 2000s I thought for sure we would find tons of lost cities. Unfortunately you can't get much off of even infrared scans of these areas as the buildings are rock and wouldn't have heat signatures any different from their surroundings.
One day I bet we will see more emerge from faster scanning tech.
