Some entries are more interesting than others, but overall this book has a numbing effect. Perhaps it's because every entry is surface level? Or that the entries are repetitive? It's also dated, although I'm not sure that's the book's fault. A rather breezy affair.

WOW, is this book dated! (1988) I was a freshman in HS when this came out. Some of these are interesting, and others are only interesting if you never heard of them. Or because the likelihood of discovery is basically nil. it's only undiscovered in that sense. (Discover Atlantis? HA!) I was surprised that the battlefield of Alesia had never been unidentified. Or that nobody has tried to dig one of Pompeii's neighbors. (Herculaneum excepted) I mean sure there are towns and farms over it now, but where there is a will? When will someone re-discover Akkad? (Not in this books listing of undiscovered places). Not a good book by any stretch, but if you temper your expectations, it is not bad either. I had an amusing time reading this.
