Aliki Markantonatou plays a composition of her own, titled "The Lost City of the Sands", based on an impulsive improvisation for a lyre during her visit to the SEIKILO Museum in Greece.
The melody is mystical, kinglike, and really short in length, giving only a glimpse of what the palatial music of the lost city of Ubar in Arabia might sound like.
The song combines the ancient musical heritage of the Lyre of Sarcophagus, with an "eastern" music scale that travels us to the Middle East. It is a song about Ubar (also known as the Atlantis of the Sands), an ancient city that was buried once and for all under the Arabian sands due to the Gods' wrath.
Now shrouded in myth and legend, many explorers continue to believe in this legend and search for the lost city, with some believing it to be located somewhere in the southern deserts of modern-day Saudi Arabia.

// Who is Aliki?
Aliki is an artist and music teacher who lives in Athens. She accomplished her musical studies on the Piano, Counterpoint, and Opera at the National Music Academy. She came across the ancient Greek lyre in 2004, while she was exploring the string instruments.
Aliki studied ancient musical fragments, and she developed a personal way of playing. Techniques borrowed from the Harp, the Krar or the Kanun are woven into her style. She combines the Lyre with many different instruments such as the wooden flutes, the Sitar, the Lyre from the Black Sea, Cretan Lyre, Dub Music, etc.
Aliki summons the lyrical Sapphic spirit with her melodies, and she also takes inspiration from the Asia Minor, Byzantine music, Indian music, etc.
She has performed with the ensemble Ghi & Thalassa (2007-2012), she recorded a music album with the world-awarded Byzantine singer Nektaria Karantzi, she wrote the music for the Acropolis Museum reconstruction documentary (2014), and many more.

// The Lyre of Sarcophagus (LUTHIEROS)
This is a premium Collector Edition replica of the Lyre of Sarcophagus, based on some of the oldest lyre depictions that were found. One is part of the decoration of the Hagia Triada Sarcophagus in Crete (dated between 1420-1380 B.C.). A similar depiction was found on a wall at the Nestor Palace (1300-1200 B.C.), located at the kingdom of “sandy Pylos” in Greece (as described in Homer’s Odyssey), an important center in Mycenaean times. Both depictions present an Aegean portable symmetrical lyre, with a U-shaped soundbox and two equal arms decorated with the neck and head of water birds.
