You'll feel the roar of the crowd in the Roman Colosseum, take a ride in a gondola down the canals of Venice at Carnival time, and walk along the walls of Great Zimbabwe.

Each story begins by showing you the wonder as it is today. You'll learn when and how it was constructed, and what it teaches us about how the people who lived at the site might have spent their days. Then you'll see the location recreated in jaw-dropping 3D detail. Using archaeological evidence and computer technology, the people and places of the past will be brought back to life before your very eyes.

With each page packed with fantastic facts and extraordinary pictures, Back to Life: Wonders of the World brings together the best parts of history and archaeology to recreate the wondrous history of the world.
