This book took me back to my childhood, reminding me of the historical mysteries, hidden treasures, and archaeological books I used to read. This book felt like an adult version of those kids books that I devoured. Comprised of magazine and newsletter articles written by the author, “The Lost Tomb” delves into various historical mysteries. Preston’s writing is excellent; even when the science gets complicated, the stories remain understandable and engaging. Unlike the books I read as a kid, this one also explores ethical questions in archaeology, which I found particularly fascinating.
