Bogovi, grobovi i učenjaci: roman o arheologiji

Bogovi, grobovi i učenjaci: roman o arheologiji

C. W. Ceram

The book is an attempt to bring the scientific facts related to the archaeological research of the oldest civilizations closer to the reader and make them interesting. Written fluently, the book really reads like the most suspenseful novel.

The book Gods, graves, scientists was written without scientific ambitions. It represents an attempt to make one science an object of observation, to make the work of researchers and scientists visible, above all its inner tension, dramatic knot, their human meaning. At the same time, one should not be afraid of straying, and not even of personal reflections. This is how a book was created that a scientist must call "unscientific". Apology for that is my intention. I saw that this abundant science, which combines adventure and cabinet diligence, romantic endeavors and personal spiritual satisfaction, is stored in published professional writings. Regardless of the value of these scientific publications, they were not written to be "read". It is significant that so far there have been only three or four attempts to record past research as interesting adventures. And there are hardly any more exciting adventures than that, if one considers that adventure is always a mixture of spirit and action.
