Archaeologists are uncovering two medieval cities that may have bustled with inhabitants a thousand years ago .
A team first noticed one of the lost cities in 2011 while hiking the grassy mountains of eastern Uzbekistan .
A second site, called Tugunbulak , is described for the first time in a study published on October 23 in Nature .
At Tashbulak and Tugunbulak , the researchers mapped out subtle ridges that likely represented walls and other buried structures.
The lidar map appears to show a massive medieval complex, complete with a citadel, buildings, courtyards, plazas and pathways.
The researchers have yet to publish their findings.
