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.
