Title: Makes you want to dig a hole
Review: "Gold-laden pharaohs, grinning skeletons, long-forgotten civilizations mantled in swirling mists: the world of archaeology evokes adventure and romance." Eyewitness to Discovery is a great find in itself with over fifty selections of great discoveries. After starting with 'The Discovery of Human Origins' Fagan takes us on a world-wide tour from the Near East to Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, finishing with how archaeology becomes a science. My favorites: Assyrian Palaces at Nimrud; Nubian kings of Kerma; Royal Cemetary at Ur; Horsemen of Pazyryk; Terracotta Army of China; Lords of Sipan....too many to list! Every armchair archaeologist should have this book.
