Archaeology Detectives

Gaze at ice age bison, painted 14,000 years ago; explore Mohenjodaro, a sophisticated city in the Indus Valley built around 2600 BC; and discover whether the legendary city of Troy really eisted.

Then find out about the boy king Tutankhamun; imagine what it felt like when Vesuvius erupted above Pompeii; clamber up to Machu Picchu, the Inca Emperor's religious retreat; and even experience life on board the Titanic.

This book presents archaeology as a wonderful adventure. It's full of fascinating facts and is cleverly laid out with eye-catching graphics, clear diagrams and vivid photography.

Modern science meets woolly mammoths, 21st century ideas grapple with ancient magic and myth, and even Hollywood stars get a look in.
