This book was a hidden treasure on my to-be-read shelves for years. Always getting passed over because I feared it would be a dry read or trite. It was neither, and quite engaging! Even though written in the 1970s, I read along with breathless anticipation as the archeologists dug, with despair as treasure seekers ruined the stories that otherwise may have been found, and with anticipation as new methods and techniques were found to care for the antiquities and give better understanding of the peoples who have gone before. Google helped to bring me up to date on the hoaxes mentioned, as well as the progress of various digs. There are black and white photographs throughout.
This is a book written for the general public, possibly to ignite the curiosity of young adults. Professionals will not be as excited as I was to read this. I will be looking for her other books because I enjoy traveling with her.… (altro)
