Through adventure and luck, we have unearthed many objects and places that reveal the story of our past, and this treasury for children is filled with some of the most fascinating. On an autumn day in 1940, four boys explored a tunnel that their dog had gone into. They had no idea that they had entered the Lascaux Caves, a network of chambers covered in cave art from 17,000 years ago. This is just one of countless tales of rediscovery that have given us glimpses of ancient history. In this stunning book, 32 of the most surprising and beautiful artefacts from around the world are displayed photographically, and brought to life with colourful illustrations. Whether it's an Ancient Egyptian throne or an archer from China's Terracotta Army, author Matt Ralphs brings the excitement and intrigue of how each item was recovered and what it can tell us about the lives of the people who made it. For any child who loves the story of history, The Secrets of History Revealed is the gift they didn't know they wanted.
