A Look Back at Uncharted’s Greatest Locations

Atlantis of the Sands

Atlantis of the Sands, also known as the Iram of the Pillars you spend Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception searching for, is yet another impossibly beautiful location. Where Shambhala’s beauty shined through the nature that had reclaimed it, the magnificence of Atlantis could be seen in every cloud of sand, gold idol, and stone pillar. It’s not very often a backdrop of beige and gold can deliver such magnificence, but Naughty Dog nailed it with this location.

Housed within this decayed memory of yesteryear was a vessel in which Solomon, the great king, had imprisoned the Djinn. The lore of the mad city that tore itself apart, and the power hidden within its walls only lent to the greatness of the location.
