Description
|
|
|
|
Illustrated with color photos up to 16 inches wide, this book offers a survey of significant archaeological finds of the past two decades—from fossil discoveries that rewrite the story of human origins to wrecks of early submarines and ironclads from the Civil War—revealing many written by the discoverers themselves. There are revelations about the pyramids of Giza, a just-discovered royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings, and gold-filled burials of Assyrian queens at Nimrud, Iraq. Italy's Ice Man and Inca mummies from high in the Andes bring us face to face with people from the past, while stunning wall paintings from San Bartolo in Guatemala have revolutionized our knowledge of the ancient Maya.
