rediscovery

The recovery of an ancient European culture, described here. Wonderful stuff.
(But I never have liked this kind of graphic: no logical connection between the information presented and the organization of the visual field. Dorling Kindersley books do a lot of this kind of thing, and while it's often very pretty to look at, it doesn't have the kind of message-integrity that I'd like to see.)
