Description:

Have you ever wondered what the food from Ancient Rome might have tasted like, how they created those iconic Roman hairstyles or how you can mummify a person today? These archaeologists have. They’re called experimental archaeologists, and they work to bring the past alive. Sam Kean has written about them in his new book: Dinner with King Tut: How Rogue Archaeologists Are Re-creating the Sights, Sounds, Smells, and Tastes of Lost Civilizations.
