The Mind Alive Encyclopedia

The history of modern times will be documented in minute detail in print, on film, on tapes and in computer records. Early history is different: our distant past, like a richly coloured mosaic, must be pieced together by archaeologists and scholars from surviving written records and the products of years of painstaking excavation. Many of the fragments of the picture are missing. New facts constantly come to light.
