The past has laid the foundations of the present, just as the present is now laying the foundations of the future. The passing of each day makes each of us a bigger part of history. So as not to be forgotten, we record and preserve important moments, thereby creating our personal puzzle. Our ancestors, distant and recent, didn't have the means to do this. Even so, they left plenty behind. Although many of these discoveries have been covered or destroyed by the passage of time, modern technology allows us to learn a great deal about them, and about ourselves too. This book describes 40 such discoveries, together with their discoverers and circumstances, which themselves have become a part of our history. 521 1 $a Ages 9-12. 546 $a In English, translated from the Czech. 650 0 $a Antiquities. 650 0 $a Archaeology. 650 0 $a Archaeologists. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) 700 1 $a VelcÌovskyÌ, Tom, $e author. 700 1 $a Wolf, Adam, $d 1981- $c (Illustrator), $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Oakland, Andrew, $d 1966- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012551.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240103010541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D08C752EAA0511EE99E4BB4527ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
