"How true is it?" is a common refrain of patrons coming out of
movie theatres after the latest film on pirates, Vikings, or
mummies. While Hollywood usurps the past for its own entertainment
purposes, archaeologists and historians know a lot about many of
these subjects, digging up stories often more fascinating than the
ones projected on screen. This distinguished group of
archaeologists select key subjects and genres used by Hollywood and
provide the historical and archaeological depth that a movie
cannot-what really happened in history. Topics include Egypt, the
Wild West, Civil War submarines, Vikings, the Titanic, and others.
The book should be of interest to introductory archaeology and
American history classes, courses on film and popular culture, and
to a general audience. Alternate Selection, History Book Club.
