'''So I learnt about "film serials". This is what wikipedia says, "Film serials were especially popular with children, and for many youths in the first half of the 20th century a typical Saturday at the movies,  Many serials were  Westerns, since those were the least expensive to film. Besides Westerns, though, there were films covering many genres, including  crime fiction,  espionage,  comic book or  comic strip characters,  science fiction, and jungle adventures".'''

Jungle adventures is in bold for a reason. Here is a link to a list of all the film serials.

As you scroll down you'll see that the "western" and "railroad" (wild west) genres were very popular. Other genres include "maritime" (pirate seas), science fiction (far future), "spy", "crime" and even "circus". I think I also saw the "medieval" (dark ages) genre. But then you'll see the "jungle" genre and what does the first jungle serial happen to be called? "The lost city"!!!! Here's a link to the wikipedia page on "The lost city".

And after that the "jungle" genre becomes really popular and many of the serials are based on Tarzan and Jane. And apparently there's also a 1998 film called "Tarzan and the lost city".

I know that film serials are really old and the people at popcap can't be that old but I'm just saying that maybe, just maybe they were inspired by the film serials and that's why they decided to call the world "lost city". I know I'm a bit late to the party but here you go. This is a rather interesting find.
