HP Lovecraft's "Nameless City" 1921. A hapless adventurer wanders into the far reaches of the desert, with the words of the Mad Arab Abdul Al Hazred "That is not dead which eternal can lie...and with strange aeons even death may die..." echoing in his fevered mind. The roseal light of the sub blazes, with visions of the Halls of Memnon, and the times before Babylon. As the sands blow in the spectral ruins, a colossal door springs open. Down the adventurer descends down ancient corridors alighted with a torch, and springs upon antediluvian rites and crocodilian horrors....

“But the pearls had grown yellow and had lost pearly colour…”
"The haunting refrain of Abdullah the adventurer echoes as reaches into a bag of spices, jewels and pearls mouldered by time. No one in the court of Muwiyah the Caliph believes the adventurer's tales of an abandoned city in a lost oasis covered by sands, gleaming with silver and bricks of gold, columns of jeweled chrysolite, sparkling fountains, a paradise of fruit-laden trees and no living souls. An old scribe Ka’ab emerges with a forgotten tale of King Shadad of the ancient tribe of Ad within deepest Africa, and the Lost city of 1000 pillars of Irem. Other ancient scribes emerge from his mind’s eye recalling a flash of fire consuming the majestic city, and grave robbers who dared to read the inscription in stone over the jeweled casket of the Mighty King of Shadad…"
