C.W. Ceram visualized archeology as a wonderful combination of high adventure, romance, history and scholarship, and this book, a chronicle of man's search for his past, reads like a dramatic narrative. We travel with Heinrich Schliemann as, defying the ridicule of the learned world, he actually unearths the remains of the ancient city of Troy. We share the excitement of Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter as they first glimpse the riches of Tutankhamen's tomb, of George Smith when he found the ancient clay tablets that contained the records of the Biblical Flood. We rediscover the ruined splendors of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient wold; of Chichen Itza, the abandoned pyramids of the Maya: and the legendary Labyrinth of tile Minotaur in Crete. Here is much of the history of civilization and the stories of the men who rediscovered it. Illustrated with drawings, maps, and photographs… (meer)
Este libro narra las aventuras de aquellos intrépidos arqueólogos empeñados en descubrir los secretos de civilizaciones ya desaparecidas. Gracias a ellos conocemos Troya, los tesoros aztecas, la tumba de Tutankhamón, Pompeya, Nínive, el Valle de los Reyes, los secretos de la escritura cuneiforme... El autor nos describe en este libro el periplo de estos hombres. Un libro indispensable para todos aquellos interesados en una época más romántica de la arqueología, llena de misterio y ansias de descubrimiento a cualquier precio.
Klasické dílo literatury faktu, které podává přehled nejvýznamnějších objevů archeologie. Dramatičnost jejich poznávání spolu z vášnivou zaujatostí badatelů, který odhalovali zasutou minulost lidstva, vyhodnocení těchto objevů - to všechno vylíčil autor způsobem, který se stal příslovečným. ( )
Actually a 4.5 rating. This was a really well done book, especially given the available information Ceram had. I really enjoyed it, and it was a super fun read. Ceram kept it clean and clear, which made it easier to read. I also love my physical copy, which is an older publication. ( )

Es gibt keine patriotische Kunst und keine patriotische Wissenschafl. Beide gehören, wie alles hohe Gute, der ganzen Welt an, und können nur durch allgemeine freie Wechselwirkung aller zugleich Lebenden, in steter Rücksicht auf das, was uns vom Vergangenen übrig und bekannt ist, gefördert werden.. GOETHE
Wer seine Zeit recht sehen will, soll sie von ferne betrachten. Wie fern? Sehr einfach, genau so weit, daß er die Nase der Cleopatra nicht mehr erkennt. ORTEGA Y GASSET
