De Lucy a Medina Azahara

In this book that contains and transmits all the emotion and charm of archaeological research, Andrea Augenti narrates ten great discoveries that trace a journey through time and space that goes from Prehistory to the Middle Ages and covers Europe, Asia and Africa. From the skeleton of "Lucy", the oldest hominid, to the terracotta army of Xi'an, to the mummy of Tutankhamun, "Otzi", the civilization of Ebla or ancient Rome, the work highlights not only the archeology, but also the ideas and techniques that have made the task dedicated to it increasingly stimulating. The book has a chapter written expressly for this edition about the Medina Azahara complex in Cordoba.
