Think of your most treasured possession, the most precious, most beautiful, most special thing you own. You would never throw it away, not in a million years. But in the Bronze Age, some four thousand years ago, that is exactly what people did. Bronze was incredibly precious, and yet beautiful jewellery and gleaming swords were cast into marshes and rivers.
This book tells the fascinating story of bronze, a tale full of thrilling events, mysterious places, and magnificent objects from thousands of years ago. You will join archaeologists on their quest to uncover the greatest mystery of the Bronze Age: why did people throw away their most valuable possessions?
Inspired by the research of archaeology professor David Fontijn, Linda Dielemans transports you to an extraordinary time that feels both strange and familiar. Sanne te Loo’s beautiful illustrations bring the Bronze Age magically to life.
