Viaggia indietro nel tempo per scoprire i segreti delle mummie e di altri resti umani da tutto il mondo in questo affascinante libro, pubblicato 100 anni dopo la scoperta della tomba del re Tutankhamon. Dalle antiche mummie egizie e dai corpi di palude europei ai cittadini di gesso di Pompei, alle persone dipinte della steppa e ai monaci giapponesi che si auto-mummificano, questo libro rivela ciò che scienziati ed esperti hanno scoperto sulla vita dei nostri antenati dai corpi che hanno lasciato dietro di sé. Scopri cosa mangiavano, indossavano, in cosa credevano queste persone, cosa amavano fare e molto, molto di più in questo libro unico e straordinariamente illustrato. Con un testo coinvolgente di Matt Ralphs, scritto in consultazione con esperti del British Museum, e splendide e rispettose opere d'arte di Gordy Wright, questo è un libro che delizierà e ispirerà chiunque abbia più di 9 anni e sia interessato alla storia, all'archeologia e all'antropologia.

Matt Ralphs is a freelance writer of children's fiction and non-fiction. While working for many years as an editor he helped other writers create novels, comics, and lavish art books, including special editions made from engraved metal, branded wood and demon skin. He lives on the Grand Union Canal in England on a boat he christened Nostromo because Alien is his favourite film.<br /><br />Gordy is a UK based illustrator, printmaker and picture book maker who grew up in a small town on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. He later moved south to Bristol to study illustration at the University of the West of England. When he's not painting and making books he enjoys being outside, be it riding his bike, having mini adventures in the countryside or just watching the birds in the garden. He also has an unhealthy addiction to collecting houseplants. More of Gordy's work can be found at gordywright.com.
