Timbuktu is not "no longer in existence," but it has significantly declined in prominence and population. Once a vibrant center of trade and scholarship in the 14th to 16th centuries, it faced various challenges, including shifts in trade routes, colonialism, and more recently, conflict and terrorism in the region. These factors have led to a decrease in its historical significance and economic vitality, though it still exists as a city in Mali, known for its historical sites and cultural heritage.

When was the Timbuktu found?

I never knew it was lost !!!! Timbuktu was founded in the late 11'th century and while it is not exactly lost (as suggested by the answerer above), it is certainly no longer the center of learning and trade that it was in the 1600's. Today, with only 20,000 inhabitants and no slaves to trade, it is no longer a center of "commerce".
