Summary: Since the dawn of time. humankind has been fascinated with the endless mystery of life. The birth of civilization. including the construction of the first buildings. the manufacture of early artifacts. and the many and varied applications of an evolving technological knowledge. happened in large part because of this fascination. In trying to explain their surroundings and attempting to rationalize the fantastic. human beings created a wealth of monuments that give the modern archaeologist clues as to what life has been like over the millennia. Lost Civilizations probes the archaeological and anthropological evidence uncovered by researchers and paints a compelling portrait of the growth of civilization. It examines such archaeological remains as Stonehenge. the Easter Island statues. and the Minoan ruins on Crete and speculates about the vanished civilizations that built them. by Bill Harris.ISBN: 0792458427.
