Blending high adventure with history, this chronicle of 100 astonishing discoveries from the Dead Sea Scrolls to the fabulous “Lost City of the Monkey God” tells incredible stories of how explorers and archaeologists have uncovered the clues that illuminate our past.
Archaeology is the key that unlocks our deepest history. Ruined cities, golden treasures, cryptic inscriptions, and ornate tombs have been found across the world, and yet these artifacts of ages past often raised more questions than answers. But with the emergence of archaeology as a scientific discipline in the 19th century, everything changed.
Pivotal discoveries include:
- King Tut’s tomb of treasure
- Terracotta warriors escorting China’s first emperor into the afterlife
- The glorious Anglo-Saxon treasure of Sutton-Hoo
- Graves of the Scythians, the real Amazon warrior women
- New findings on the grim fate of the colonists of Jamestown
