The Archaeology Book
by David Down
The Archaeology Book is the latest book in the Wonders of Creation series put out by Master Books. David Down puts over 40 years of archaeological knowledge into this book to provide the reader with unique insights into the field of archaeology.
The book is set up in a multi-level format: level one – 5th to 6th grade, level two – 7th to 8th grade, and level three – 9th to 11th grade. As the levels get higher, the topics and information go more in depth. The first level covers the basics of who, what, where, why, and how. The second level allows the reader to reflect more on the information and includes words to know. The final level, level three, encourages readers to deep deeper into the subject matter. In addition to the different levels of study, readers will find tidbits from David Down in the form of DD’s Journal.
Topics covered in this book include: What is Archaeology?, Land of Egypt, The Hittites, Ur of the Chaldees, Assyria, Babylon: City of Gold, Persia, Petra, The Phoenicians, The Dead Sea Scrolls, and Israel. The book includes a brief glossary in the back. The book contains numerous beautiful photographs and illustrations to capture the readers attention and encourage their imagination.
I found this to be a very nice resource to anyone who wants to start a study on archaeology or for reference material when studying different Biblical times.
