Features: This book reveals many things hidden by archaeologists. 150 images show us artifacts believed to have been lost. Should human history be rewritten? For decades, archaeologists have discovered many artifacts that could influence our historical perspective. However, most of them were wrongfully judged as forgeries and suffered injustice, some even hidden from the public. These precious and mysterious artifacts are stored in the basements of museums, universities, and research institutions, unseen by the light of day. The author traces these controversial artifacts, providing us with many exciting visual materials. This book discloses numerous little-known archaeological secret archives—4000 artifacts were secretly sold at a site in Illinois, USA.—A golden dinosaur statue and a mysterious "metal library" were discovered in a cave in South America.—In the basement of the Mormon Church, the "Michigan Tablets" with biblical themes and mysterious symbols await deciphering.—In the mid-20th century, over 3300 ceramic statues were unearthed in Acámbaro, Mexico, some depicting dinosaurs. Scientists determined their age to be 4000 years old.—For decades, the archaeological community has been debating prehistoric relics found near the small village of Grottes in France, as the ancient inscriptions on them were believed to have been created in an era when humans had not yet learned to write.
