Description
On an autumn day in 1940, four boys chased their dog into a tunnel and accidentally stumbled upon a network of chambers covered in Stone Age cave art from 17,000 years ago: the Lascaux caves. This is just one of the many gripping tales of archaeology, with artefacts including three-million-year-old human fossils and the 12th-century Lewis Chessmen, Tutankhamun's throne and China's Terracotta Army. Find out how they were discovered and the insights they give us into civilizations and cultures throughout human history and prehistory.
