Archaeological Story

About This Novel
This book covers more than twenty major archaeological resorts in the world, as well as important archaeological discoveries. We will see the golden mask of the Egyptian Pharaoh, the marble statues in the Parthenon Temple in Greece, and the sacrifices in the Mexican jungle... These cultural relics will tell us as objectively as possible, what kind of life our ancestors lived, what kind of civilization they created, and why some of these civilizations went to destruction. This is also the legendary story of a group of "treasure hunters" - archaeologists. In 1872, Schliemann dug a large trench like a wound on the mound in search of Troy; in the 1960s, Israeli Aden led an archaeological team to climb to the top of Masada's steep mountaintop and sifted about 38,000 cubic meters of soil in search of cultural relics; in 2010, Klein, the author of this book, and "space archaeologist" Sara Parkak stared at satellite images and discovered in the fields the ruins of the Roman "Ironclad Regiment" barracks in the second century AD. The book also demonstrates the evolving archaeological technologies, such as aerial surveys, lidar, and carbon-14 dating, which allow more sites to be discovered and cultural relics to tell more stories. The author also answers the common questions of ordinary people from the perspective of an archaeologist: How do you know where to dig? How do you know how old something is? Do you own what you find? In this way, archaeological stories take us on a journey upstream in human history and provide us with revelations about the future.
