Description
In a beautiful volume featuring more than 170 maps and photographs, Mystery of the Ancient Seafarers follows the latest pursuits of National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Robert D.

An immediate tie-in with the 2004 PBS special, Ballard's excavation focuses primarily on the story of the Phoenicians—traders who ruled Mediterranean commerce for 1,000 years, then disappeared.A showcase of National Geographic's greatest strengths—exploration, discovery, and intricate maps—Mystery of the Ancient Seafarers is a fascinating journey through the depths of the Mediterranean and centuries of time.
