We Dug Up the World: Unearth Amazing Archaeology Discoveries

by Alexandra Stewart

You can find AMAZING things when you DIG. Shells, bottle tops and slimy snails. But can you imagine what would happen if one day you dug up something extra special, something that had an amazing story to tell about what life was like a long time ago . . .

Archeologists have found some INCREDIBLE things by digging deep underground. Magnificent mummies from long, long ago. Dinosaur bones washed up on the beach. The underwater kingdoms of great kings and queens. Beautiful cities buried by volcano ash. And mighty meteors from beyond the Milky Way.

Team up with archaeologists from around the world and travel through time to learn about fantastic historical artefacts. From Tutankhamun to the Titanic, children will discover something new on every page and delight in learning about how the world used to be.

A great book for the young scientist. Easy to follow and pare down the information for young minds. I’ve read this with my 5 year old and she enjoyed learning more about archaeology and paleontology. My 7 year old has been reading on his at leisure and enjoys telling me what he’s learned. Great illustrations help young readers visualize ancient fossils and hidden cities.

A genius composition, interesting for kids and adults alike, brings the fascinating subjects of natural history, archaeology and anthropology to life and makes you excited to see what humans discover next. Love the deliberate championing of a diversity of discoverers and the careful noting of the cultural problems that have accompanied digging things up.

A nice, diverse range of archaeological discoveries and good illustrations. The text could have been more engaging. Come on, these are some of the coolest stories if narrated right.
