Tales of Ancient Worlds: Adventures in Archaeology

What links shipwrecks, Egyptian treasure, and fossilized Viking poop? They're all things that have been discovered by archaeologists!

Pick up your shovel and Indiana Jones hat and dig into the world of archaeology in Tales of Ancient Worlds, a nonfiction kids' book by YouTuber Stefan Milosavljevich. Alongside beautiful illustrations by Sam Caldwell you'll find incredible tales from history, including:

• The ancient Egyptian city found at the bottom of the ocean
• The terracotta army that hid underground for 2,000 years
• The mysterious Ice Age temple made from mammoth bones

Along the way you'll also find out if you have what it takes to be an archaeologist, unearth (literally) groundbreaking scientific techniques, and meet the pioneering women and men who have brought the past back to life.

Stefan Milosavljevich has been obsessed with history ever since he was young. He makes videos about archaeology on his YouTube channel Stefan Milo, often holding a plastic spoon as a microphone. Stefan's aim is to bring the past to life and inspire a fascination in humanity's incredible journey.
