We Dug Up the World

You can find amazing things when you dig. Shells, bottle tops and slimy snails. But can you imagine what would happen if one day you dug up something extra special, something that had an amazing story to tell about what life was like a long time ago... Team up with archaeologists from around the world and travel through time to learn about fantastic historical artefacts. From Tutankhamun to the Titanic, children will discover something new on every page and delight in learning about how the world used to be.
