THE GREAT COURSES by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, Archaeology: An Introduction to the World's Greatest Sites, by Dr. Eric H. Cline, 2016. Condition is BRAND NEW OLD STOCK! Still factory-sealed, and includes both the DVD (24 lectures of 30 minutes each) and the Course Guidebook.
The Great Courses: Archaeology: An Introduction to the World's Greatest Sites explores how archaeologists separate fact from fiction to reconstruct long-ago civilizations. Produced in partnership with National Geographic, this 24-lecture series bridges the gap between Hollywood myths—like those in Indiana Jones—and the actual science, history, and modern technology used on real excavations.
Led by renowned archaeologist Dr. Eric H. Cline, the course takes viewers on a global tour of over 20 of the planet’s most legendary and enthralling sites. Throughout the lectures, viewers travel to famous ruins like the volcanic remains of Pompeii, the fabled city of Troy, the ancient desert architecture of Petra, and the towering pyramids of Egypt.
Beyond simply examining these monuments and their buried treasures, the series pulls back the curtain on the actual process of fieldwork. It addresses fundamental questions like how experts determine where to dig, how artifacts are meticulously dated and preserved, and how archaeological breakthroughs continue to bring us face-to-face with our distant ancestors.
