?Can you see anything?� one explorer asked the other as he peered into Tutankhamun�s tomb. ?Wonderful things,� came the reply. In this thrilling guide, readers are brought face-to-face with the world�s greatest treasures, large and small, discovered and still lost: from the underwater city of Atlantis to the Rosetta Stone, from the Mayan Crystal Skull of Doom to King Solomon�s Mines. In short, concise, beautifully illustrated chapters, readers will learn about riches both real and legendary. Many of the discoveries here, like the Baghdad Battery, show that ancient cultures possessed knowledge we�ve only recently re-acquired. This account will appeal to anyone who�s ever had what Mark Twain called the ?raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.�
