History’s Mysteries by Brian Houghton


Thanks to modern science, the Oak Island treasure pit has been explained, and now the whole mystery is ruined! But hang on, what else could have tempted your appetite for a good story when you were a kid? What better was there to entice you into reading about pirate treasure on a mysterious island?

History’s Mysteries is a great book on the unexplained things we wonder about. One of the things that makes it so darn great is that it’s written by an archeologist; his expertise makes the stories even more fascinating. All of those ancient weird places-Mesa Verde, Petra, the burial mounds-Houghton makes everything readable and enjoyable.

I strongly recommend this for the armchair historian.
