INTRODUCTION<br />
VOYAGE OF<br />
DISCOVERIES<br />
WALK LIKE AN<br />
EGYPTIAN<br />
The Pyramids of Giza were never a<br />
discovery, <strong>the</strong>y were always standing on<br />
<strong>the</strong> hot desert sands of <strong>the</strong> Sahara.<br />
With an innate knack for everything<br />
Egyptian, Howard Carter spent over 30<br />
years doing archaeological excavation<br />
in <strong>the</strong> region before he and his team<br />
discovered <strong>the</strong> steps leading <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>mb<br />
of King Tutankhamen on 1st November<br />
1922, where <strong>the</strong> young Pharaoh’s<br />
mummified body was first found, <strong>the</strong><br />
first of many mummies <strong>to</strong> come.<br />
acrobats, musicians and court officials,<br />
had everything needed <strong>to</strong> serve, amuse<br />
and defend him in <strong>the</strong> afterlife.<br />
This discovery is significant <strong>to</strong> uncovering<br />
<strong>the</strong> wonders of this period in Chinese<br />
his<strong>to</strong>ry, where under his rule, China was<br />
unified and underwent major economic<br />
and political reforms, including <strong>the</strong><br />
abolishment of centuries old tradition<br />
of feudalism.<br />
PAINTINGS ON<br />
THE WALL<br />
8 year-old Maria led her fa<strong>the</strong>r,<br />
Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola through<br />
<strong>the</strong> forest and in<strong>to</strong> a cave <strong>to</strong> fulfil her<br />
childhood wonderment. What <strong>the</strong>y<br />
discovered is now a national treasure<br />
of Spain.<br />
UNCOVERING THE<br />
SECRET ARMY<br />
In 1974, while drilling a well, some local<br />
farmers in Xi’an, China, discovered <strong>the</strong><br />
head of <strong>the</strong> first terracotta warrior.<br />
Uncovering <strong>the</strong> burial site of <strong>the</strong> first<br />
Emperor of China, Qin Shi’Huang<br />
(259BC – 210BC), who was buried<br />
with over 8,000 full-scale figurines<br />
of warriors, horses, chariots, archers,<br />
In 1880, one year after its initial<br />
discovery, <strong>the</strong> Cave Paintings of Altamira<br />
were opened for public viewing. Bold<br />
images of bison and <strong>the</strong> hands of men,<br />
as well as o<strong>the</strong>r mammalian creatures<br />
were depicted on <strong>the</strong> rocky interior of<br />
<strong>the</strong> cave. Declared a World Heritage Site<br />
by UNESCO, <strong>the</strong>se early paintings are<br />
proof that our ances<strong>to</strong>rs held <strong>the</strong> mental<br />
capacity <strong>to</strong> produce artistic expression.<br />
