C.W. Ceram visualized archeology as a wonderful combination of high adventure, romance, history and scholarship, and this book, a chronicle of man's search for his past, reads like a dramatic narrative. We travel with Heinrich Schliemann as, defying the ridicule of the learned world, he actually unearths the remains of the ancient city of Troy. We share the excitement of Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter as they first glimpse the riches of Tutankhamen's tomb, of George Smith when he found the ancient clay tablets that contained the records of the Biblical Flood. We rediscover the ruined splendors of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient wold; of Chichen Itza, the abandoned pyramids of the Maya: and the legendary Labyrinth of tile Minotaur in Crete. Here is much of the history of civilization and the stories of the men who rediscovered it.

读后感

听到过很多人的愿望，好些人甚至女生都想当个考古人。我想，他们都有一种强烈的好奇心和勇于探索的气质。 考古是智者的战场。考古家的工作，除却发掘，更多的是解谜。谁都不知道谜底，谜面也不是那么清晰，一切都要靠考古家的天才判断。 现代的考古，已经有了很多辅助的手段...  

这本书读得很慢，看着那些人走在各自追求理想的路上，或必然或偶然地有了重要的发现，觉得那句话说得真对——上天会厚待那些勇敢的坚强的多情的人。 四大古文化区的发现史，是无与伦比的时代。 只因那里有用一生来追求理想的决绝、固执到幼稚的相信、打破传统的气魄、伟大而...

第一次读这本书是99年, 前言上写着曾被用作教材 目录里涵盖了庞培，特洛伊，迈锡尼，克里特，埃及，亚述，巴比伦，苏美尔，阿兹台克，玛雅，托尔特克…… 内页里记载的全是那些古老的世界里传奇的经历 丝毫没有古板，老套的说教 倒是象极了《夺宝骑兵》里的故事 一点乏味的感觉...  

上学时学到近代中国积贫积弱，会认为是西方工业革命带来了巨大进步，同时我们故步自封。读罢此书，我认为不仅仅是机械革命的力量：19世纪西方国家已经非常热衷甚至是疯狂地进行考古发掘，发掘了庞贝、特洛伊、埃及、小亚细亚、中美洲等等，参与人员有商人，学者，政客，教士，...

C. W. Ceram traces back to early stages when archeology was merely digging things from the earth. The book also answers one significant question for the discipline: why study archeology today? Whilst anticipating an evolving future, what in the past shall not be forgotten who we are. Literature for vocabularies and syntaxes in a good way.
