Per molti l'archeologia è una disciplina affascinante fatta di piramidi e faraoni dorati, civiltà scomparse e avventurieri in giacca di pelle e cappello a falda larga. L'archeologia è tutto questo, ma soprattutto è l'unica scienza in grado di descrivere la storia dell'umanità nella sua interezza: dalle rovine della civiltà maya al mistero di Stonehenge, dai leggendari luoghi degli eroi di Omero allo sconfinato esercito di terracotta cinese. Brian Fagan, massimo esperto in materia e abilissimo divulgatore, ripercorre in quaranta brevi e avvincenti capitoli le vicende di alcuni dei più grandi archeologi del mondo e delle loro scoperte, tracciando la storia dell'archeologia e l'evolvere dei metodi di ricerca dalla nascita della disciplina nel Settecento fino agli sviluppi tecnologici più recenti. Un racconto scorrevole e suggestivo arricchito dai ricordi ed esperienze sul campo dell'autore; un'avventura fatta di mille pericoli, audaci esploratori e stupefacenti ritrovamenti.

2334 a.C.: dopo una lunga serie di guerre tra città-stato, causate dalla scarsità di grano e dall’inaridimento del territorio, Sargon, re di Akkad, unifica la Mesopotamia, dando vita al primo impero mai esistito. 536: per diciotto mesi un quarto del pianeta non vede la luce del sole a causa di una eruzione vulcanica in Islanda; di lì a poco la peste di Giustiniano farà precipitare l’Europa in una crisi che si protrarrà per quasi cento anni. 1362: una violenta burrasca, ribattezzata Grote Mandrenke – la «grande affogatrice di uomini» – travolge le coste del Mare del Nord, distruggendo più di sessanta paesi in Danimarca. Lungo tutto il corso della sua esistenza l’umanità ha dovuto affrontare, contrastare e prevedere disastri climatici e ambientali ogni volta potenzialmente irreparabili..
