Great Ancient Sites of the World: An Illustrated Guide to Over 80 Major Archaeological Discoveries - Softcover
In this fabulous guided tour of the world's greatest archaeological finds, mysterious sites such as the standing stones of Stonehenge, the carved stone heads of Easter Island and the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio are visited. Despite all the technial advances that have been made, archaeologists still struggle to answer the great question about these sites: why were they built? Aside from the unbelievable feats of engineering they represent, these ruins are often peppered with fragments of history. The meanings of the sites and relics are discussed, with an account of the discovery or extraction of relics and treasures for each site. More than 350 clear maps and evocative photographs show the locations, and allow readers a glimpse of the stunning artefacts that have made archaeology a worldwide passion today.
