This book uses both succinct, informative essays and beautiful,
detailed photography to reveal how recent archeological discoveries
in the ancient country of Armenia have transformed our
understanding of the origins of human civilization and humanity
itself. It also tells the story of a heroic team of Armenian
archeologists who have singlehandedly created a new golden age of
archeology in their country. Their work demonstrates that Armenia
has hosted a continuous human presence for at least 2 million
years. They have succeeded in documenting the evolution of humanity
and human culture across this vast span of time in minute detail.
Their discoveries include the oldest known winemaking complex, the
recreation of the first wines, the oldest known work of art, the
oldest shoe yet discovered, and one of the oldest known religious
documents. This book chronicles their achievements in a manner that
lets the reader become part of the process of exploration and feel
the excitement of discovery.
