The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search… door Andrew Lawler
A decent enough exploration and synopsis of the various aspects of the Roanoke colony history, myths, legends, &c.
½
Well written, entertaining, reasonably accurate from what I can tell.
A spellbinding history of the hidden world below the Holy City - a saga of biblical treasures, intrepid explorers, and political upheaval
If you are someone who loves archaeology and enjoys reading about the uncovering ancient ruins, then this book is for you. Under Jerusalem is full of stories, intrigue, politics, and belief that the next find is right around the corner (or under the next layer of dirt).
The author takes us from the moment when archaeology in Jerusalem really gets hopping with the finding of the final resting place of an ancient queen. He brings us right up to the present with a look at the way both the Israelis and the Palestinians view the ongoing archaeological endeavors. The author doesn't take sides. He just presents the facts.
This book is well worth reading. Now I must watch Raiders of the Lost Ark.… (meer)
