To read this book is to take journeys where few people go. And, they are journeys to some of earth's most fascinating corners of history. Patrick Hunt brings them alive as he leads us concisely through "Ten Discoveries That Rewrote History", leading us across Europe, the Mideast, South America and China. Hunt is much more than an archeologist and historian as he brings details and knowledge to the book that only a brilliant mind can do. As a former National Geographic photographer, I am often surprised when anyone in academia makes complex topics understandable to the lay reader. The author has done it here and he's done it extremely well!
