Great Archaeological Mysteries of Europe and the Mediterranean
Archaeology is much more than excavation. It blends science, history, and detective work, using tools like CT scans, astronomical modeling, and even cryptographic analysis to solve puzzles from across the ages. Great Archaeological Mysteries of Europe and the Mediterranean illuminates the full scope of this exciting field. Dr. Karen Bellinger draws on her archaeological experience across several continents as she shows how to read artifacts not just as objects, but as clues to a rich and often surprising story. You’ll explore astonishing finds like the Antikythera Mechanism, a 2,000-year-old computer; Ötzi the Iceman, whose remains reveal a tale of murder in the Alps; and the mysterious Voynich Manuscript, which still defies interpretation. You’ll also examine persistent puzzles: the Holy Grail, the Library of Alexandria, the Galloway Hoard, and more.
