About
Signs of life are everywhere in the Roman city of Pompeii. Graffiti decorates the walls. Ancient homes and restaurants still stand. Colorful frescoes and mosaics are still visible. But this city is a graveyard. More than 2,000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius rained fire and ash onto the city. Many who died there were perfectly preserved in ash, only to be discovered centuries later. This high-interest title uses maps, graphs, and profiles of important discoveries to explore the fascinating history of the doomed city of Pompeii.
A sudden commotion stirs the dig site. Someone has found the entrance to a long-forgotten tomb! Scenes like this may seem like movie lore, but they can happen in real life. This series for reluctant readers explores some of the worlds most famous archaeological discoveries, from Chinas Terra-Cotta Army to King Tuts Tomb in Egypt. Immersive opening narratives give way to maps, graphs, and profiles in this high-interest series all about digging up the past!
