      <description><![CDATA[In May nineteen thirty-nine, Basil Brown cut into the largest burial mound at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. Iron rivets began appearing in regular positions. The timber itself had decayed, but it left a dark impression in the sand. As Brown followed the line, the outline of an enormous ship emerged.

      <description><![CDATA[In nineteen forty-seven, members of the Ta'amra Bedouin found ancient manuscripts in a cave near the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. The first seven scrolls passed through local hands, dealers, scholars, and institutions before their age and importance were fully established. News of the discovery drew Bedouin searchers and archaeologists to more caves.

      <description><![CDATA[In the spring of nineteen hundred, sponge divers sheltering near the Greek island of Antikythera entered the water and encountered an ancient wreck scattered across a steep seabed. Divers and the Hellenic Royal Navy recovered statues, glass, pottery, jewelry, and corroded metal. One bronze lump looked less impressive than the sculptures.

      <description><![CDATA[On the fourth of November, nineteen twenty-two, excavation workers in Egypt's Valley of the Kings uncovered the top of a step cut into the rock. By the next day, more steps led to a sealed doorway. The discovery did not yet prove that an intact royal tomb waited below, but its location and ancient seals made careful control essential.
