Detailing the work of archaeologists, this series allows readers to learn about history in a fun, interactive way, by piecing together stories from the past using real-life archaeological and scientific methods. A wall chart of interesting facts is also included. The discovery of a selection of mysterious items at the city museum--a woven textile, a wooden goblet, and an old letter--prompts an expedition to investigate the story behind the artifacts. This adventure then goes on a journey through Peru, ending in a temple hidden high up in the mountains where young readers learn about Incan treasures, rituals, death, and afterlife.
