What links shipwrecks, Egyptian treasure, and fossilised Viking poo? They’re all things that have been discovered by archaeologists.

Pick up your shovel and Indiana Jones hat and dig into the world of archaeology in this non-fiction kids’ book by YouTuber Stefan Milosavljevich. Alongside beautiful illustrations by Sam Caldwell you’ll find incredible tales from history, including:

  • The ancient Egyptian city found at the bottom of the ocean.
  • The terracotta army that hid underground for 2,000 years.
  • The mysterious Ice Age temple made from mammoth bones.

Along the way you’ll also find out if you have what it takes to be an archaeologist, unearth ground-breaking scientific techniques, and meet the pioneering women and men who have brought the past back to life.
