Krátky popis
Uncovering the physical remains of our past is a quintessential
human itch, the pursuit of every society from the ancients through
to today. But the stories behind archaeological exploration and
discovery - what we look for when, what we end up finding, and what
we then do with it - tell us as much about ourselves today as they
do about the past.Through eight sensational stories of discovery,
Professor Michael Scott traces the evolution of modern archaeology
from colonial expeditions to today's cutting-edge digs, unearthing
traps, curses and buried treasure along the way. We uncover why
different periods and places have caught our attention and
imaginations at different times.We meet the characters, some
celebrated and some forgotten, who found world-famous discoveries
like the Rosetta Stone, the Terracotta Warriors and Machu Picchu.
We investigate ancient human footprints, stunning shipwrecks,
mythical princesses and surprising rituals as keyholes to the
wonders of past civilisations. And we unravel how archaeological
finds have often become emblems of modern fascinations and
dilemmas.Crossing millions of years, trekking from the jungles of
South America to the frozen highlands of Central Asia, X Marks the
Spot reveals how much the discovery of our past is intertwined with
the concerns of our present and why X never, ever marks the spot.
