Below title: The past brought back to life.
Summary: Imagine if you could travel back in time and visit the wonders of the world. Where would you go first? Turn back time to reveal realistic reconstructions of the most incredible monuments humankind has ever constructed. You'll feel the roar of the crowd in the Roman Colosseum, observe an eclipse at Chichen Itza and stride along the walls of Great Zimbabwe. Each story begins by showing you the wonder as it is today. You'll learn when and how it was constructed, and what it teaches us about how the people who lived at the site might have spent their days. Each location is recreated in 3D detail. Combining archaeological evidence and computer technology, this book brings the people and places of the past back to life before your very eyes.
