New York Timess 21 Nonfiction Books Coming This Summer | Boston Globes Best Summer 2025 BooksFrom one of Americas smartest and most charming writers (NPR), an archaeological romp through the entire history of humankindand through all five sensesfrom tropical Polynesian islands to forbidding arctic ice floes, and everywhere in between.Whether its the mighty pyramids of Egypt or the majestic temples of Mexico, we have a good idea of what the past looked like. But what about our other senses: The tang of Roman fish sauce and the springy crust of Egyptian sourdough? The boom of medieval cannons and the clash of Viking swords? The frenzied plays of an Aztec ballgame...and the chilling reality that the losers might also lose their lives?History often neglects the tastes, textures, sounds, and smells that were an intimate part of our ancestors lives, but a new generation of researchers is resurrecting those hidden details, pioneering an exciting new discipline called experimental archaeology. These are scientists gone rogue: They make human mummies. They investigate the unsolved murders of ancient bog bodies. They carve primitive spears and go hunting, then knap their own obsidian blades to skin the game. They build perilous boats and plunge out onto the open seaall in the name of experiencing history as it was, with all its dangers, disappointments, and unexpected delights.Beloved author Sam Kean joins these experimental archaeologists on their adventures across the globe, from the Andes to the South Seas. He fires medieval catapults, tries his hand at ancient surgery and tattooing, builds Romanstyle roadsand, in novelistic interludes, spins gripping tales about the lives of our ancestors with vivid imagination and his signature meticulous research.Lively, offbeat, and filled with stunning revelations about our past, Dinner with King Tut sheds light on days long gone and the intrepid experts resurrecting them today, with startling, lifelike detail and more than a few laughs along the way.
