Features: Indeed, those ancient civilizations that leave modern people ashamed and shine brilliantly are like epic poems carrying the changes of time, performing an eternal finale in the long river of human history. In the course of historical changes, ancient Egypt, ancient India, and ancient Babylon—these ancient civilizations that shock the world—have gradually faded into the dust of time. However, they have never faded from human sight. Generation after generation of archaeologists have cleared away the mist of the preserved ancient ruins, exploring the traces of the past, revealing the history of yesterday, and recreating the distant civilizations. Human history is long, but the history with written records is brief. How many glories, how many splendors, how many joys and sorrows have quietly passed away, unheard and unseen. But underground, ancestors have left abundant history. This book narrates some astonishing discoveries in world archaeology in recent years—Sanxingdui, Zhou Gong Tomb, Khufu Tomb, Atlantis, and the Mummy of the Millennium—taking you into those distant eras, that colorful world.
