Can antiquity be fun, thrilling, and accessible?

Can learning about the ancient world be funny or even downright hilarious?

Is archaeological knowledge something you can flex about?

The answer to all the above is yes!

Renowned archaeologist Dr Theodore Papakostas, author of the bestselling How to Fit All of Ancient Greece in an Elevator (sold in 14 countries and counting), takes children on a tour of the ancient world, showing them how exciting archaeology can be!

Children will find out, among many other things, who the biggest superhero of the ancient world was; how the twelve gods of Olympus were actually thirteen; how a little donkey became a hero to be celebrated across ancient Athens; what was the most famous riddle of antiquity, and the inner workings of archaeology itself. By the end of it, they will not only have fallen in love with antiquity, but they might even be inspired to become, why not, archaeologists themselves!
